PipfordTHANK YOU, Ronald Hutton, for finally clearing up for me exactly what a fucking 'henge' was, before we applied it to Stonehenge (from "Pagan Britain", 2013)
When I was 16 we holidayed in Wiltshire and visited Stonehenge late one afternoon. When the chap came to tell us it was closing he said we could nip back in an hour or so and climb in if we fancied.
James@anandamide There was a henge found just up the road from me, in Northamptonshire. It caused a bit of local excitement and confusion, and then disappointment when a) it was clarified what a henge really is and b) we were told it's likely all been ploughed out, and therefore flattened.
Woodhenge is just up the road from Stonehenge, and in our family we know it as Concretehenge because of the markers that had been erected over post-holes that had been found there.
