Archaeologists have discovered a wide circle of deep shafts surrounding an ancient settlement close to Stonehenge, opening up new lines of investigation into the origins and meaning of the mysterious, prehistoric monument.

The stone circle at Stonehenge, whose purpose remains unknown to scientists despite decades of research, is one of Britain’s most famous landmarks and a draw to tourists and people in search of spiritual connections with nature.

The site is located about 2 miles northeast of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, and evidence suggests the shafts date back to the same period, some 4,500 years ago. “Key researchers on Stonehenge and its landscape have been taken aback by the scale of the structure and the fact that it hadn’t been discovered until now so close to Stonehenge,” he said.

For years and years, there’s been many investigations and studies that went into Stonehenge and NOW they suddenly find shafts Sounds a bit fishy to me.....
