The Bull Ring

The Bull Ring is a Class II henge that was built in the late Neolithic period near Dove Holes in Derbyshire, England.

The centre of the henge was ploughed in the 18th century; a drystone wall was also built across the site during the same era.

[1] It has been suggested that stones from the henge were used as sleepers for the Peak Forest Tramway circa 1790.

[4] A minor excavation was carried out in the west ditch in 1902 by Micah Salt; this reputedly discovered some pottery sherds and flint flakes, which have since been lost.

[1] A trial excavation by Oxford University Archaeological Society in 1949 established that the ring has two entrances, and also provided information about the original size of the bank and ditch.
