Stonehenge might not have been the main attraction 4,500 years ago. In England, researchers with the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project just discovered a "superhenge" monument, which would have ...
In August 2016 a joint project excavation, directed by Parker Pearson and members of the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project, revealed that there are no buried standing stones at Durrington Walls. Instead, the ground-penetrating radar results revealed a circle of enormous post-holes, not buried stones, beneath the henge bank which had later ...

In 2010 the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes project, [16] which was engaged in mapping 14 km 2 of the Stonehenge landscape, announced they had discovered a "henge-like" monument at this location. [17] The discovery, found using ground-penetrating radar and magnetometers , suggested that the large circular ditch had been dug out in scoops (i.e. a ...
In 2007 the Stonehenge Riverside Project and the Beaker People Project jointly embarked upon a radiocarbon dating programme of the surviving skeletal remains to establish when Stonehenge was used as a burial space. As a result of this, it is argued that the site began as a cremation cemetery in the early third millennium BC.

[ 2 ] Excavation of internal features included a few pits and postholes , numerous stakeholes, and an arc of postholes inside the inner edge of the enclosure ditch ...
