Talk:Marden Henge

Size
I've added the size of 530 m. It says in the introduction "the largest Neolithic henge enclosure", but Avebury has a diameter of over 1000 m (quoting the Wikipedia article)? Note that Avebury is a [true] henge, whilst Marden Henge is stated here as being a "henge enclosure" (see definitions in Henge). However, that distinction is not made clear in the introduction. Or it could be the Wikipedia article for Avebury is wrong, as a diameter of 347.4 m is quoted in ref [5]?

Meanwhile the article for Durrington Walls says "At 500 metres (1,600 ft) in diameter, the henge is the largest in Britain". Presumably that needs updating to "At 500 metres (1,600 ft) in diameter, this henge enclosure is the second largest in Britain after Marden Henge enclosure".

 * Possibly we have a metric to imperial measure mistake for Avebury, as "This [Avebury] is one of Europe's largest stone circles,[28] with a diameter of 331.6 metres". And 331.6 m is pretty close to 1000 feet? Aarghdvaark (talk) 15:00, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Measurements for these monuments should always be given in the original Imperial measurement with the metric conversion in brackets, otherwise there is the increased possibility of errors being introduced. DerbyCountyinNZ  (Talk Contribs) 17:44, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
