NOTE OF INTEREST
New Barn Farm sits within the Knowlton South Circle Henge. This is the largest and possibly the earliest of a group of four Late Neolithic henge monuments at Knowlton. Henge monuments are circular enclosures with an external bank and an internal ditch and are thought to be ritual or ceremonial monuments and date to between four and five thousand years ago. The group of henges and other prehistoric monuments at Knowlton form one of the most significant prehistoric sites in Britain.
