Seahenge was the name coined for the remarkable discovery of a timber
circle found in late 1998 in the intertidal zone on a Norfolk beach. This page
is a key to the press stories on the discovery, investigation, removal and the
general quarrels over the site. At the beginning of 2001, there is a new series
of stories because a second timber circle has been discovered very close to the
first.
First off, there is an account of the discovery and investigation from
the pages of Current Archaeology (simply titled
Seahenge). That was written for
archaeologists and people with an interest in archaeology, and it was written
by archaeologists.It serves as a useful introduction to the stories that have
been written by journalists for the general newspaper-reading public.
