Archaeologists Have Discovered a Second Henge At Stonehenge



I know when I think of Stonehenge, it immediately makes me think of this infamous piece. I have always been fascinated by the 'real' Stonehenge and hope to visit there someday.

This week, archaeologists have announced they have discovered a second henge at Stonehenge, described as the most exciting find there in 50 years.

Project leader Professor Vince Gaffney, from the University of Birmingham, said the discovery was "exceptional". Gaffney said he was "certain" they would make further discoveries as 90% of the landscape around the giant stones was "terra incognita" - an unexplored region. "The presumption was this was just an empty field - now you've got a major ceremonial monument looking at Stonehenge," he said.
