Thornborough Henges: "Stonehenge of the North"

For those who, like me, are fascinated by henges and stone circles, here's news from English Heritage. "Historic England and English Heritage have secured the future of two massive henge monuments and their surrounding landscape, part of a Neolithic complex in North Yorkshire. ... The Thornborough Henges complex near Ripon is an extremely important site, consisting of three giant, circular earthworks (known as ‘henges’). ... probably the most important single ancient site between Stonehenge and the Orkney Islands in Scotland."
