Hemp Lane bridge over the A41 ? site of a prehistoric temple?
The dual carriageway was built in the early 1990s and archaeological investigations at this point revealed a series of prehistoric parallel trenches which had been dug over a protracted period. No clear reason was found for the trenches but it was suggested they might have some religious significance.

2000 years of travel through the Gap
This view across the Tring Gap in the Chilterns provides evidence of many years of travel.
The nearest road is the modern A41 – part of the Berkhamsted Bypass – constructed in the 1990s
Immediately beyond it, with a white van visible on the road, is the old A41. This was originally a Roman road, and it has been used ever since. In the 18th century it was part of the Sparrows Herne Turnpike road between Bushey and Aylesbury.
The farm is “New Ground Farm”
Beyond the farm there are glimpses of a low hedge which conceals the Grand Union Canal, which was opened in 1800.
One field beyond the canal is the London to Birmingham Railway, opened in 1837
The Chiltern Hills lie beyond the railway.
