There are six significant recorded Henge monuments in Somerset, though there may be more which have not been detected. Three of them are barely there at all, and one of them - Gorsey Bigbury - is easy enough to miss if you're not sure what you're looking for. The remaing two - Priddy Circles and Stanton Drew are however very impressive. Stanton Drew - the only one of the six that includes stone settings - contains the second largest stone circle in England (after Avebury). Priddy Circles has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in 2011, but the situation is a long way from disasterous. We'll just have to wait.
