Henge and Barrow sites

Henge and barrow sites are ancient structures built thousands of years ago. A henge is a circular or oval earthwork, often with ditches and banks, used for ceremonies or gatherings, with Stonehenge being a famous example. A barrow is a mound of earth or stones covering a burial chamber, serving as a grave or memorial for the deceased. Both types of sites reflect early communities' spiritual, social, and ritual practices, offering valuable insights into prehistoric life and beliefs.
