About 5,000 years ago, the Thornborough Henges in what is now North Yorkshire would have dominated the surrounding landscape.

What would have been three striking white monuments, now known as the "Stonehenge of the North", were covered in gypsum and their banks are believed to have towered up to 23ft (7m) high.

According to historians, anyone stood inside the circular earthworks in Neolithic times would only have been able to see the vast sky above them.

Cut off from the landscape and enclosed in this huge human-made arena, our ancient ancestors would have felt "centred within nature" and could even have had a "cosmic experience", they say.
