A Wet Henge and a Neolithic Sacred Complex
May 11, 2007, 18:40
There is a site for 'Dorchester Big Rings Henge', the now flooded area south of Berinsfield. On the OS map for the site, the text mentions 'Neolithic Sacred Complex (site of)' which I would put at SU570958, and further north than the grid ref given. Are they one and the same, or two different sites? Wet and Dry?

Paulus, u added a post for it, whaddayathink?

Any comments anyone?

inputting modern O.S. NGR onto the old-maps site often leads to this error

The grid-ref for the cursus here is nicked from Paul D's book. But he took his info from Richard Bradley's study of the remains in the area. Much of these findings were collated and added to in a couple of other books. If y' gimme an email address, I'll scan and send you a few of the lay-out plans of the remains in this complex (we can't really publish them on TMA cos they're only a few years old), then you can correct or add any OS-refs as necessary.

All the best - Paul
