A 2 mile drive down the road and we arrived at Woodhenge. It sat on the corner lot of a old back road and across of it was a little car park with dirt that could fit maybe 4 cars.
So as you can see from the concrete in the ground they replaced the wood beams because they rotted since it was over 2000 years ago.
You can see a circular ditch and bank that surrounds the henge. They believed that this site was build way before Stonehenge but now they are thinking it was build around the same time give or take a couple hundred years.
I heard something like they believed that the people would make a pilgrimage to one of the henge's during the summer solstice and another during the winter solstice. The thought behind the wood henge is that this represented our life on earth now, being temporal and the stones at Stonehenge represented the eternal life being incorruptible.
