Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox historic site Drove Cottage Henge (sometimes called Hunter's Lodge Henge)[1] is a scheduled monument in the Priddy parish of Somerset, England. It is located Шаблон:Convert north of Drove Cottage.[2] The site is a ceremonial Neolithic location.[3] Since this henge is one of only around 80 henges throughout England, it is considered to be nationally important.[2]

Description

Drove Cottage Henge is situated in a valley. The bank circumscribing the henge is about Шаблон:Convert thick and Шаблон:Convert high, with a diameter of around Шаблон:Convert when measuring from the outsides of the banks. Just inside this bank is a ditch Шаблон:Convert wide and Шаблон:Convert deep, enclosing a circular central area about Шаблон:Convert in diameter. In the northern portion of this central area is a low-lying mound[2] in front of the exit, which appears as a break in the outside bank.[2][4]

Jodie Lewis noted in 2005 that "Examples of southerly and north-north-westerly orientations, apropos Stockwood and Hunter's Lodge, are documented at other Class I henge sites, but are not common".[5] Harding and Lee in 1987 said of it "HUNTERS LODGE, Priddy ST 559 498: Sub-oval enclosure, surviving as an earthwork, situated at the head of a shallow valley."[6]

This whole site has become hard to see because repeated ploughing has heavily damaged the archaeological site, including the turf cover.[3][4]
