Site Number 6 Site Name Henge monument 300m north west of Cana Barn Type of Site Henge NHL Number 1009790 HER Number Status Scheduled Monument Easting 436056 Northing 471846 Site Gazetteer Parish Council North Yorkshire Description Henges are ritual or ceremonial centres which date to the Late Neolithic period (2800‐2000 BC). They were constructed as roughly circular or oval‐ shaped enclosures comprising a flat area over 20m in diameter enclosed by a ditch and external bank. One, two or four entrances provided access to the interior of the monument, which may have contained a variety of features including timber or stone circles, post or stone alignments, pits, burials or central mounds. Finds from the ditches and interiors of henges provide important evidence for the chronological development of the sites, the types of activity that occurred within them and the nature of the environment in which they were constructed. Henges occur throughout England with the exception of south‐eastern counties and the Welsh Marches. They are generally situated on low ground, often close to springs and water‐courses. Henges are rare nationally with about 80 known examples. As one of the few types of identified Neolithic structures and in view of their comparative rarity, all henges are considered to be of national importance. Although reduced by agricultural activity, this monument can still be identified as an earthwork and details can be clearly seen on aerial photographs. Significant information about its form and function will be preserved within the bank and ditch. As part of a wider group of monuments in this area this site will provide important insights into the study of a ritual landscape in the prehistoric period. The monument includes a henge lying on undulating land in the Vale of Mowbray. The monument comprises a subcircular enclosure defined by a bank and internal ditch.
