What is recorded here

Castle Dykes Henge is a Class I henge earthwork in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, North Yorkshire, between Aysgarth and Thornton Rust. Its roughly circular bank spans about 87 yards, with an internal ditch beside the open dale. The earthwork still stands mostly intact, preserving a place where people may have gathered, marked territory or performed rituals long before written memory.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Dykes Henge as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
