Ferrybridge Henge

[3] The site is of national importance and is protected from unauthorised change as a Scheduled Ancient Monument;[1] despite this it is under threat from ploughing.

The inhumations were discovered with grave goods such as ceramic pots and flint tools.

[3] The henge was not cultivated and may have been retained as a shrine for the Iron Age people of the area and later during the Romano-British period.

[3] An Iron Age sword scabbard was discovered in the inner henge ditch as well as a Roman coin.

The site consists of a field system and drainage ditches thought to date to the Iron Age or Romano-British periods.
