A few years later, Norfolk again showed that this land was an archaeological treasure when a second wooden circle was found. This circle also dates back to the first circle of 2049 BC.

Considered to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the late 20th century, Seahenge is also known as Home I with a diameter of 6.6m, made up of 55 blocks of oak, of which the length is 3m. Particularly the second wooden circle (Home II) was found in 2004 with many wooden blocks of 0.76m long that half were eroded and damaged at the top. Total diameter circle 13m. In the center there is an oval ring containing wooden logs.

The Daily Mail quoted archaeologists who wondered why the ancient people built mysterious oak rings , was it the final resting place of important figures of the time? Scientists have applied a project to study the life of trees (dendrochronology) to determine the age of two wooden circles. Many harsh reactions occurred when Home I was taken away for preservation and finally displayed at the Lynn Museum.
