Woodhenge is a Neolithic henge monument located near Arminghall in Norfolk, England, dating to approximately 3500 BCE. The site comprises a circular arrangement of post holes that once held timber posts, forming a timber circle or ceremonial structure that predates the stone circles found elsewhere in Britain. Excavations conducted in the 1930s revealed six concentric rings of post holes, with the largest posts positioned in the outer rings, suggesting a substantial timber construction of considerable ceremonial or ritual significance. The monument represents an important early example of Neolithic monumental architecture in East Anglia and provides archaeological evidence of timber-based ritual landscapes during the early Neolithic period.
