NS 972 221. This Class II henge is situated 480m S of Normangill farmhouse, overlooking the left bank of the Camps Water from a height of 280m OD. The public road from Crawford to the Camps Reservoir has been driven transversely through it, thereby destroying a central strip 10.7m wide. The surviving portions of the bank and internal ditch are, however, relatively well preserved, and the two opposing entrances are still clearly visible.
Oval on plan, the henge measures 61m by 55m from crest to crest of the bank, with the longer axis aligned about 17 W of N. The bank is now not more than 0.7m high and, as revealed in section by the road, is composed predominately of earth. The construction of a circular turf sheepfold has removed the SW end of the bank. The ditch, which is separated from the inner edge of the bank by a berm 3.0m in average width, is at present about 4.0m wide and 0.3m deep. At both entrances the gap in the bank measures about 23m in width, and that in the ditch about 17m in width. The interior is featureless.
