Drove Cottage Henge
Drove Cottage Henge (sometimes called Hunter's Lodge Henge) is a Scheduled Ancient Monument in the Priddy parish of Somerset, England. It is located north of Drove Cottage.〔 The site is a ceremonial Neolithic location.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/professional/research/landscapes-and-areas/protected-landscapes/mendip-hills/ )〕 Since this henge is one of only around 80 henges throughout England, it is considered to be nationally important.〔
== Description ==
Drove Cottage Henge is situated in a valley. The bank circumscribing the henge is about thick and high, with a diameter of around when measuring from the outsides of the banks. Just inside this bank is a ditch wide and deep, enclosing a circular central area about in diameter. In the northern portion of this central area is a low-lying mound〔 in front of the exit, which appears as a break in the outside bank.〔
Jodie Lewis noted in 2005 that "Examples of southerly and north-north-westerly orientations, ''apropos'' Stockwood and Hunter's Lodge, are documented at other Class I henge sites, but are not common".〔Jodie Lewis, ''Monuments, ritual and regionality: the neolithic of Northern Somerset'' (Archaeopress, 2005)〕 Harding and Lee in 1987 said of it "HUNTERS LODGE, Priddy ST 559 498: Sub-oval enclosure, surviving as an earthwork, situated at the head of a shallow valley."〔A. F. Harding, G. E. Lee, ''Henge monuments and related sites of Great Britain: air photographic evidence and catalogue'' (1987)〕
This whole site has become hard to see because repeated ploughing has heavily damaged the archaeological site, including the turf cover.〔〔
