Seahenge, Norfolk (vola sa to aj Holme I) In 1998, a man walking his dog on the beach at Holme-next-the-Sea stumbled on a circle of tree trunks buried in the sand. The mysterious bronze age monument was uncovered and the 4,000-year-old timbers were carted off for conservation. Channel 4's Time Team constructed a full-size replica a few miles inland in Thornham. The original is in the Lynn Museum, Kings Lynn. viac info: https://www.explorenorfolkuk.co.uk/seahenge.html https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2009/apr/04/ruins-neolithic-sites-stone-circles a tu to bude trochu spooky ... Holme II One hundred metres east, another, much larger ring was found, consisting of two concentric timber circles surrounding a hurdle-lined pit containing two oak logs.Known as Holme II, dendrochronology gives a date identical to Seahenge: 2049 BCE. This is the first time that two adjacent prehistoric monuments have been shown to have been built together. Details of the construction of Holme II differ from that of Holme I (Seahenge): for instance the palisade of Holme I had the tree bark intact, while it was removed for Holme II, giving the two enclosures contrasting dark and light colours.One suggestion is that the upturned roots in Holme I were used for excarnation, while the remains were later buried in Holme II, which may have contained a burial mound (now washed away) extending to the inner timber circle which would have formed the revetment (outer securing border) of the mound. Although also threatened with destruction by the sea, this site has been left in situ and exposed to the tidal actions of the sea. This decision by English Heritage relates to the controversy over digging Holme I
