Sark Henge
A modern stone circle built in 2015 to mark the 450th anniversary of the fief, located on Derrible headland with broad sea views.
Sark Henge was built in 2015 to commemorate the 450th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I granting the fief of Sark to Helier de Carteret in 1565. Nine upright granite pillars from Jersey, once gateposts on the island, form a circle around a central stone disc. They symbolize the 40 founding families who first settled the island. The axis lines up with the winter solstice sunrise and the summer solstice sunset. The henge stands on an open grassy area on Derrible headland, with views over Derrible Bay and the sea. Admission is free, and you can link it with the walking routes to Derrible Bay and Dixcart Bay.
