Henge

Technically speaking, a henge, or henge monument as Stonehenge is called, is a circular embankment of earth with an internal ditch that surrounds a flat area of land

So it sounds like you cannot copyright a word you create unless the word is copyrighted by a business you own. I now understand that any work you publish is automatically copyrighted to you unless you send it to a newspaper for publication.
