Hi Pamela, Mayburgh is very worth a visit, I don't think it is that well known. There is a second henge just a few minutes walk away called Arthur's Round Table. Happy Beltane, Martin.
I will make sure i pop in to see this on my way down to Avebury in the summer. Thank you Martin. I wonder if the people stood on the top of the henge looking in. Maybe for a hunting sport of some kind. But its just a thought.
Hello Jane, the ancestors may have stood at the top of the henge to see inside, perhaps the inside was sacred space, who knows, a lot of people would have fitted inside Mayburgh. The henge is worth a visit and Arthur's Round Table is a short walk. Happy Beltane, Martin.
So, theory. - Everyone uses a key stone/post - then the direction of your village or community you use a second post - this provides a route to get you to your destination. The further out the post you use - the further the travel distance. Think of henges as 'roundabouts' for travellers. Main posts more permanent posts/stones indicate the next henge for more 'refined' directions when you get closer, using main stones/posts for henge to henge requirements. Using the sun and sticks etc - you can recalibrate if the journey is over days. Larger henges uses for main routes, temporary wooden henges for directions when you are closer to the destinations or have no need to use henge to henge travels.
Can you notice the face at the end of the film? It was in one of the trees at the Henge.
You've just made me add this place to my summer wanderings
Thanks, Martin!

I visited this henge a few years ago and was quite impressed.
It is impressive, a lot of work would have went into creating this site. I hope you enjoyed the film.
THANK YOU MARTIN 👍........🙏>>>💚
I hope you enjoyed it and I am glad you got to see it before a public release. Happy Beltane.

That's a really interesting site, especially with the embankment. And yes, I saw the face. Thanks for this. Informative as always.
Thanks once again for your continued viewing and leaving a comment which helps the channel, Martin.
