Aubrey Burl, in the opening chapter of his 1997 book 'Prehistoric henges' begins with this definition:
"Henge: A type of ritual monument found only in the british Isles and consisting of a circular area anything from 150 to 1700 feet acrss delimitied by a ditch with the bank normally outside it."

Burl goes on to say:
"Henges are strange places. to the casual eye they seem dull, no more than a circular bank of earth and rubble surrounding a turf covered interior. There is nothing else to see."
