Maelmin Henge

Maelmin Henge is modern interpretation/reconstruction of a henge monument near the village of Milfield, Northumberland in the Till Valley. It was built in the spring of 2000. The landscape in which the contemporary monument sits held a number of Neolithic and early Bronze Age henge monuments around 5,000 years ago and the new monument is based on excavations of one of these, the site of which is close by. The monument was created by Clive Waddington, who has written a guide to interpret it.
