What is recorded here
Priddy Circle is a Neolithic henge on the Mendip plateau, built in the third millennium before Christ, with a Bronze Age barrow cemetery beside it. The circular earthwork, internal ditch and external bank mark a place where ceremony and burial continued across generations. Four hundred metres north of the Castle of Comfort Inn, the monument still stands as a protected focus of ancient life on the plateau.
The National Heritage List for England records Priddy Circle and barrow cemetery 400m north of Castle of Comfort Inn 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
