The ring, which surrounds the site of a Neolithic village called Durrington Walls, could shed new light on the origins of Stonehenge, the mysterious stone circle in southwestern England.

A group of archaeologists discovered what could be one of the largest prehistoric sites in the United Kingdom near Stonehenge.discovered a ring of at least 20"shafts" more than 32 feet in diameter and 16 feet deep that form a circle more than 1.2 miles in diameter. The ring, which surrounds the site of a Neolithic village called Durrington Walls, could shed new light on the origins of the mystical stone circle in southwestern England.

Gaffney said when the pits were first identified, they were believed to be natural features. Geophysical surveys allowed researchers to discover a"pattern on a massive scale." Archaeologists believe the circle of shafts was created about 4,500 years ago and may have marked a boundary around the massive henge at Durrington Walls which could have guided people towards the religious sites and warned others not to cross.
