Lying within the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, Woodhenge is a Neolithic Class II henge and timber circle monument. It wasn't discovered until 1926 when a pilot took an aerial photo of the area. The monument was probably built around 2300 BC as a large burial mound.

The site is managed by English Heritage and free to visit. You can visit anytime during daylight hours. More information: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/woodhenge

No circus and no crowds like at Stonehenge. We were alone here and could look at everything in peace.
On the other side of the road there are two rest areas for picnics with a beautiful view.

Woodhenge is basically a wooden circle. Similar to Stonehenge, several circles of wooden steel were erected. Of these wooden staves, however, only the grave holes were preserved.
The concrete blocks in the picture should clarify their positions. The steel should possibly have been up to 9 m high.
