Stone monoliths found buried near Stonehenge could have been part of the largest Neolithic monument built in Britain, archaeologists believe.

The 4,500-year-old stones, some measuring 15ft (4.5m) in length, were discovered under 3ft of earth at Durrington Walls "superhenge".

The monument was on "an extraordinary scale" and unique, researchers said.

The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes team has been creating an underground map of the area in a five-year project.

Remote sensing and geophysical imaging technology has been used to reveal evidence of nearly 100 stones without the need for excavation.



Nice discovery - like Stonehenge needs the extra attention :P !

I'm in two minds about whether I'd like to see them being excavated, though. It'd be interesting to see a recreation of the site as it would have looked 4,500 years ago - but then, Stonehenge is pretty iconic as it is....
