Mysterious 'Seahenge' Structure in UK May Finally Be Explained

When tidal erosion exposed a mysterious Bronze Age structure on a beach in Norfolk, England, it captured the imaginations of archaeologists and pagans alike, who recognized the site may hold spiritual significance.

#SeaHenge: "consisting of an upturned tree-stump surrounded by 55 closely fitted oak posts, was originally built on the saltmarsh away from the sea and specialists estimate it to have been built of timbers dating from the spring of 2049 BC.
…positioned in an area protected from the sea by sand dunes and mud flats…this swampy area created a layer of peat which slowly covered the timbers, protecting them from decay."

Was Seahenge created for a ritual to extend the summer during climate change battle?

New research into an ancient timber circle discovered on a Norfolk beach and dubbed "Seahenge" suggests it was created in response to a period of extreme climatic deterioration at the close of the third millennium BC.

Visited the replica of #seahenge near Holme-Next-The-Sea today. The original structure survived for more than 4000 years. Somehow, I don't think this copy is going to prove as durable.

Spent some time #hiking around Salt marshes in #Norfolk. On this hike we also passed the prehistoric #Seahenge, which I have always found a little unsettling.

Despite the sunshine, it was cold and windy as hell. We found some shelter in an empty tourist office that was being refurbished (last photo).
