Seahenge was a prehistoric monument located in the north of East Anglia.
History
In the 6th century, the Irish monk Brendan of Clonfert came across the strange structure during one of his pilgrimages. He prayed at the sight, believing the Lord answered him with knowledge of an ancient language. He pondered on the possibility of the structure's timber being carried by the Nephilim, and he begged his God for further knowledge of the truth. At the site, Brendan then left the symbol of an encircled triquetra, leaving his mark and notes for future pilgrims.[1]
Nearly three centuries later, the site was visited by the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir, who read Brendan's note and discovered the secret symbol was only visible with Odin Sight, before continuing on her travels in England.[1]
Behind the scenes
Seahenge is a real life landmark that appears in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. The original name of the site is lost, and received the name "Seahenge" from the press in 1998, naming it after Stonehenge, the more well-known henge.[2]
