  Maelmin Henge is modern interpretation/reconstruction of a henge monument near the village of Milfield, Northumberland in the Till Valley.
  
  It was built in the spring of 2000.
  
  The landscape in which the contemporary monument sits held a number of Neolithic and early Bronze Age henge monuments around 5,000 years ago and the new monument is based on excavations of one of these, the site of which is close by.
  
  The monument was created by Clive Waddington, who has written a guide to interpret it.
  
  ## Heritage Trail
  
  There is a heritage trail leading on from the henge.
  
  ## Stewardship
  
  The site maintenance is taken care of by Newcastle University, and the monument exists thanks to support from local people and supporters.
