While the controversial story of Seahenge has been unfolding, local amateur archaeologist John Lorrimer has been photographing many interesting objects that are being uncovered by the tides at Holme-Next-The-Sea.
Seahenge is not the only circle to appear
from beneath the peat. Some 100 metres south east of Seahenge there is a
bigger circle of overlapping oak timbers and which appears to have two inner circles
of posts, one of oak wattle. In the centre are two shaped logs. Due south and close to where Seahenge was are four square pits holding residues of charcoal. Structures reminiscent of walkways are appearing and strangely shaped timbers can be seen lying in the peat. Many wooden posts stand upright. There is a tree whose roots appear to have grown into the timbers of the old circle!
