This is a really cool find, but can someone show me some aliens already.
The stones are thought to have been hauled into position more than 4,500 years ago to form the southern edge of a ritual arena centred on a natural depression. The stones appear to have joined up with a chalk ridge that had been cut into to accentuate the natural border. We presume it to be a ritual arena of some sort, said Gaffney, whose team has mapped the terrain and subsurface features around Stonehenge with a rich suite of instruments.
