Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Ferrybridge Henge, a prehistoric enclosure, and two round barrows 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.
Ferrybridge Henge is a prehistoric ceremonial or ritual enclosure, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, associated with two round barrows, suggesting a funerary or sacred landscape. While not traditionally classified as a fairy fort, such sites were later incorporated into folklore and sometimes linked to otherworldly or supernatural associations in medieval and folk traditions.
