Knowlton Henge & Church | Aerial Film of Ancient Earthworks in Dorset, UK | Megalithomania

Join us on Patreon: / megalithomania . A drone film to ambient music of the amazing Neolithic henge at Knowlton in Dorset with a nearby tumulus and church that was built in the 12th century but still has large stones in its foundations. Perhaps a stone circle once existed in the earthwork? The way in which it was deliberately sited in the middle of a pagan place of worship demonstrates how those who were charged with converting the local populace to Christianity did so by adapting older pagan sites and assimilating them into their religion. In the area, further earthworks are present but have been built over by a farm.

    Everyones looking in the wrong places for ancient sites. Just look under your local church.

    I found an interesting energy grid at this site, with alternating pos/neg features , and signature of an underground stream.

    Funny that your comment may have made YT to recommend me an 8 y.o. video I haven't seen where Hugh talks about energy grids: kzread.info/dash/bejne/omWZz7ayoLaalbA.htmlm20s

    Nice footage, these earthworks look so clean from above. Not gunna lie, was a little jealous when I found out Hugh had a nephew called Zachary (also my name). He should be MY uncle ^^

    A favourite place of ours! The two yew trees are right on the energy line and are probably older than the church.

    A stunning neolithic henge who's beauty isn't marred by a ruined christian church.
