The structure consisted of two posts that lined up with the solstices 5,000 years ago.

    You’re kidding. Three miles? 😆

    Ah, it was just two pole holes 120 m apart. No wonder it has gone undiscovered for so long.

      I found an even simpler version with just one stone, but this margin is too small to include it.

    Why did it take so long to find? I’ll tell you why! Big Henge has had its grubby claws in the henge industry for centuries, crowding out the smaller independents!

      Probably because there are other henges around stone henge and they fit the pattern.

        ok that makes more sense. I thought there was only stonehenge and they’d just found two holes and been like yo we found stonehenge 2

            The others were actually made from wood. That’s why they are harder to find.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: these new fangled henges are not for me. Give me the simple henge any day.
