Maelmin Henge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maelmin Henge is modern interpretation/reconstruction of a henge monument near the village of Milfield, Northumberland in the Till Valley.[1][2]

It was built in the spring of 2000.[3]
The landscape in which the contemporary monument sits held a number of Neolithic and early Bronze Age henge monuments[4][5] around 5,000 years ago and the new monument is based on excavations of one of these,[6] the site of which is close by.[7][8]
The monument was created by Clive Waddington,[9] who has written a guide to interpret it.[10][11]
Heritage Trail

There is a heritage trail leading on from the henge.[12]
Stewardship
The site maintenance is taken care of by Newcastle University, and the monument exists thanks to support from local people and supporters.[13]
