    I love these. I think my history grades would have been better if we had studied ancient history instead of boring European wars etc. Thank you.

    Breaks my heart that these earthworks are not and were not protected against stone robbers and road builders, and how about taking the trees out, taking it back to what it looked like eons ago. They were obviously something quite important when built and who knows, will be important in some way in the future?

    • @BeforeCaledonia

      An entrance at Arthur's Round Table was destroyed due to the road being built. As you say and I agree, these sites were very important back in the Neolithic and still are. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment which helps the channel. I hope you enjoyed the film.

    I have been to both combining them with a hike from Penrith to Pooley Bridge.Quite a long time ago so i can't remember much about them.The Devils Arrows at Boroughbridge is another site marred by a motorway.

      I have never been to the Devils Arrows but I have seen photos of them on the internet and in books. I hope you enjoyed the video.

    It amazes me that greater consideration is not given to the Mayburgh henge as it is is , as far as I know, unique in that the embankment is made out of thousands of river cobbles. This fact suggests that in the usual construction of a henge that the ditch was not important but merely a byproduct of the construction of the bank

      There was a lot of work put into the Mayburgh enbankment. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I hope you enjoyed the video.

    Personally, I believe these sites had mystical/magical properties, especially when you consider their proximity to ley lines.
    I am no expert, but their proximity to water, and the likelihood of underground water sources/lakes combined with electromagnetic qualities of standing stones and water must produce some effect (a thing which was more noticeable in less technologically advanced times?).
    I can't help but think that their alteration/near destruction in modern times is a deliberate, systematic act to hide their true purpose.
    'Rebuilding' sites, particularly in Ireland, is a travesty IMHO.
    Thankyou for this detailed video. New sub here 👍🌻

      Thanks very much for subscribing. I think you have pointed out some good ideas there, the water/ley line connection etc... I am no expert either, just an amature enthusiast. Best wishes from Scotland.

      Oh dear, why is it that videos like this bring out the idiots who believe in non-existant, mythical properties. Ley lines are just a figment of someone's deranged mind!

    Is it ok to fly a drone over the henges, I’m afraid I’m now am disabled and getting on a bit so trying to photograph them on foot or fully explore them is probably out!

      Flying a drone over a scheduled monument is not allowed without permission!

    They are trading sites - hence the ditch/moat 🤓

      That's a good shout, perhaps one of the many functions these sites had.

    The spine of Britain hosts an agaricomycetes entity. Psilocybe semilanceata. Magic & religion both were all about sex & pharmacology without distinction. The Gods remembered in Dramas acted out. Thank Dionysus that the ancient Greeks celebrated the world in writing & thank Hera whose children study classical philology.

      Very interesting, it's possible that could have been a function of these sites. The equinox seems to be important at Mayburgh Henge.
