Stonehenge -- the smarter you get, the more your ignorance is revealed. How 'bout them apples?
A circle of deep shafts has been discovered near the world heritage site of Stonehenge, to the astonishment of archaeologists, who have described it as the largest prehistoric structure ever found in Britain.
Four thousand five hundred years ago, the Neolithic peoples who
constructed Stonehenge, a masterpiece of engineering, also dug a series
of shafts aligned to form a circle spanning 1.2 miles (2km) in diameter.
The structure appears to have been a boundary guiding people to a
sacred area because Durrington Walls,
one of Britain’s largest henge monuments, is located precisely at its
centre. The site is 1.9 miles north-east of Stonehenge on Salisbury
Plain, near Amesbury, Wiltshire.
