Archaeologists have discovered a large ring of underground shafts near Britain's famed Stonehenge. Using remote sensing and sampling, scientists found a series of pits that form a circle more than a mile in diameter and date to about 4,500 years ago.
FILE - In this Sunday, June 21, 2015 file photo, the sun rises as thousands of revellers gather at the ancient stone circle Stonehenge to celebrate the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, near Salisbury, England.
Experts from a group of British universities led by the University of Bradford say the site consists of at least 20 huge shafts, more than 10 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep, forming a circle more than 2 kilometers in diameter. University of Bradford archaeologist Vince Gaffney said it was “remarkable” that Stonehenge, one of the most studied archaeological landscapes in the world, could yield such a major new discovery.
