The Bull Ring
Appearance
The Bullring was a stone henge built in the Neolithic period, near Dove Holes in Derbyshire, UK, [1] with coordinates 53°18′03″N 1°53′04″W / 53.300695°N 1.884423°W.[2] It no longer has any stones remaining; it is now a large, circular earthwork, approximately 1 meter high and 10 meters wide.[3] There is also a large burial mound a short distance away from the henge.[3]
The henge enclosed an area approximately 53 by 46 meters. It had entrances to the north and south, as well as a small platform on the inside edge to the northwest. A single standing stone was remaining in 1789.[3]
