Archaeologists have found a massive ring structure made of prehistoric shafts near Stonehenge. They say it dates back to 2500 B.C.E. and is 'significantly larger than any comparative prehistoric monument we know of in Britain, at least.'

. The University of Bradford was the lead institution, joined by Vienna's Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology; the Universities of Birmingham, St. Andrews and Warwick; the University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids; and the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre at the University of Glasgow.

The ring was discovered using remote sensing technology in what were previously believed to be"empty spaces" between the monuments that make up the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I used to take what you guys say as gospel but now I read this post and think of you guys as one of those conspiracy theory YouTube channels.

Just wait. Thugs will one day insist these be torn down. The left is full of mental cases.

It’s like the ditches in the earthworks in America. Wondered when the stone henge people would begin to see the pattern.

Based off the year so far, they are about to unearth Cthulu.

People did bad things back then. Tear them down! (They did good things too. But let's only focus on the bad.)

Considering the world situation, shall we activate it ?

It’s the remains of woodhenge & strawhenge. eddieizzard predicted it.

Pretty awesome discovery. Look forward to reading more about it.

I wonder if this will end up being some sort of processional walkway, as were found at nearby Avebury stone circle and at Silbury Hill.

Amazing! We have been using remote sensing to examine archaeological sites beneath the tree canopy and have found patterns of ground disturbances here in Virginia and Ohio. DailyAdventure

Gotta admit, it reminds me of a particle accelerator.

Still confused by how ancient people built it and for what reason. Those stones are gigantic.

Teehee...shafts giggity

How are they planning on studying it?

Are protestors going to destroy it?
