	BBC News \| SCI/TECH \| Seahenge dated to spring 2050 BC
		Seahenge, the remarkable ring of oak timbers recently uncovered on a UK beach, is exactly 4,050 years old.
		If Seahenge had been left where it was built, the world would soon have lost what many now regard as the Bronze Age discovery of the decade.
		The timbers of Seahenge will be returned to Norfolk when a future for the wooden circle has been decided.

	Seahenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seahenge or Holme I is the name of a Bronze Age monument discovered in 1998 just off the coast of the English county of Norfolk at Holme-next-the-Sea.
		It is possible to date the creation of Seahenge very accurately through dendrochronology since the rings on the trees can be correlated with other overlapping tree ring variations and the date of felling the oaks is known to have been spring or summer (2049 BC).
		Seahenge is so named by analogy with Stonehenge and, rather like Carhenge in the United States of America, does not possess an extant henge and appears to have had little functionally in common with its namesake.

		Seahenge is a bronze-age timber formation discovered in 1999 just off the coast of Norfolk, England at Holme-next-the-Sea.
		Exposure to the air put them at immediate risk and English Heritage arranged for the wood to be transported to Flag Fen near Peterborough, England where the wood is being continually soaked in a wax impregnated water to slowly (over the years) replace the cellulose in the wood with wax.
		It is possible to date the creation of Seahenge very accurately through dendrochronology since the rings on the trees can be correlated with other overlapping tree ring variations etc and the date of felling the oaks is known to better than one season (2049 BC).

		Many local people were also concerned at what they saw as the theft of their heritage, complaining that Seahenge would most likely be transported to London where it would be displayed, out of its local context, in the British Museum.
		English Heritage arranged for the wood to be transported 50 miles to Flag Fen near Peterborough, where it was continually soaked in wax-impregnated water to slowly (over years) replace the cellulose in the wood with wax.

		The Seahenge axe marks are the earliest metal tool marks ever discovered in Britain – and the 3D survey, funded by English Heritage, is likely to enable scientists to work out exactly how much labour was required to construct the temple.
		The new information from the Seahenge timbers and elsewhere suggests that the bronze revolution was particular rapid in Britain, which had a population of about 500,000 at the time – probably for two reasons.
		Seahenge has been dated to exactly 2049BC, meaning that it was built less than 100 years after the advent of Britain's first bronze industry.

	The Mystery of Seahenge - Oak Tree - Icons of England
		Nicknamed "Seahenge", it was a circle of 55 oak posts enclosing a huge central oak stump - a tree which had been uprooted and planted upside down in the ground, its roots stretching out like fingers.
		On June 15, 1999, as the excavation began, Rollo Maughfling, Arch-Druid of Stonehenge, formally claimed Seahenge as a surviving druid temple.
		Laser scanning of the timbers showed that between 51 and 59 bronze axes had been used to chop them down, suggesting that Seahenge was the work of a whole community.

		The Seahenge timbers, which have been dated to the spring of 2050BC and 2049BC using pioneering dating techniques, are now being studied using new technological advances in laser scanning which is allowing scientists to study, on computer, three dimensional detailed images.
		Another option to storage is the founding of a local trust to take over the responsibility of Seahenge and to raise the funds and find a suitable environment for permanent display allowing this present generation to experience this 'important discovery'.

		Early on in the Seahenge debate, when the news of its discovery first broke in the press, it was adjudged by my colleagues that this was one such issue on which we could not remain silent.
		It is no accident that the major axis of orientation of the Seahenge oak circle was found to be the line of the North-eastern summer sunrise and the South-western winter sunset.
		It was a place of major significance to the ancient spiritual ecology of Britain, whose rediscovery, associated world view and potential, may yet prove useful to the harmony of post-modern society, whilst according a unique insight in to the way our ancestors related to their environment.

	News in Science - Bisexual Viking idol marks ancient circle - 30/08/2004
		Archaeologists connected the idol, which was found several decades ago in the Thames Estuary, with the circles after the idol was recently radiocarbon dated to 2,250 B.C. This year coincides with the construction of Seahenge, a wooden monument built out of a giant, overturned tree stump surrounded by a circle of timbers.
		Although there may be references to astronomical events and other practices, the main motivation in building Seahenge seems to have been to "place the tree stump in the right place, in the right way, within its own wall of oak posts", the report states.
		Seahenge now is in storage and is scheduled for public display at Lynn Museum in England next year.
