Stonehenge just got stranger: Archaeologists confirm massive man-made ring of pits underground

New research has confirmed that a vast ring of Neolithic pits, more than a mile wide and over 4,000 years old, was deliberately engineered near Stonehenge, not formed by nature. Using cutting-edge dating and soil-analysis techniques, researchers argue it reflects an ancient belief system inscribed into the land itself. The discovery suggests Stonehenge’s builders shaped not only monuments of stone, but also monuments of earth.
