Page "Henge" Paragraph 33

Alasdair Whittle ( 2005 ) also views the development of the henge as a regional variation within a European tradition that included a variety of ditched enclosures.

He notes that henges and the grooved ware pottery often found at them are two examples of the British Neolithic not found on the Continent.

Caroline Malone ( 2001 ) also states that henges did not occur in the rest of Western Europe, but they developed from a broader tradition of enclosure to become " a phenomenon of the British Isles, a native tradition with sophisticated architecture and calendrical functions.
