Overview

Sarkhenge, despite its name, is located on Guernsey and not on Sark. It is a relatively new henge, constructed in 2015 to mark the 450th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I's grant of the Fief of Sark to Helier de Carteret. The site offers visitors a chance to connect with the island's history while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and sea.The henge is composed of Jersey granite stones arranged in a ring around a stone disc. These stones, previously used as gateposts, represent the nine medieval territories of Sark. The stone disc symbolizes the Seigneur of Sark greeting the settler ancestors. The henge's design also incorporates the solstice line, marking winter sunrise and summer sunset.While it may lack the ancient mystique of older stone circles, Sarkhenge's bluff-top location provides a scenic and contemplative space. Visitors can explore the site, take in the views, and reflect on the history and legends associated with the Channel Islands. It's a great spot for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset when the light enhances the beauty of the stones and the landscape.
