The Stonehenge of the North has been gifted to the nation by construction firm Tarmac.
The late neolithic Thornborough Henges, near Ripon in North Yorkshire, are three 200m-diameter enclosed earth circles. They are thought to be part of a “ritual landscape”, comparable to the Wiltshire home of Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain.
Two have been given to the nation by the construction company Tarmac. Lightwater Holdings, a local company, has given parts of the wider monument.
