Woodhenge - A Mystery Uncovered

Excavations during the 1970s at Woodhenge revealed that a child had been buried near to the centre of the enclosure. The skull of the child had been split.

Was this for a religious or ritual reason? Early prehistory monuments often include human remains. These are thought to be sacrifices or offerings to mark the beginning of its use.
