New discovery at Stonehenge - 29th June 2020
A circle of deep holes has been found near the historical site of Stonehenge. According to archaeologists, it's the biggest prehistoric structure ever found in the UK.
Four and a half thousand years ago, during the early Bronze Age, many circles were built with stone or wood. They were important for the religion of the time.
Stonehenge, in Wiltshire, England, is the most famous example of a stone circle. It's a popular tourist destination as many of its stones are still standing. It is an amazing display of prehistoric engineering which was built using only basic construction tools.
Now, a series of large holes has been discovered nearby. Another stone circle, Durrington Walls, sits in the centre of the ring of holes. Experts think the holes may have helped guide people to Durrington Walls.
Academics made the discovery thanks to the use of new technology.
The land around Stonehenge is one of the most studied places in the world, so it's unusual scientists have only found the holes now. Archaeologists initially thought they were sinkholes, but they soon realised they were man made.
Experts say the discovery shows ancient societies were more complex than previously thought. Now, archaeologists will carry out further excavation to identify what these holes were for.
