The team was very excited when I was there by this black and white image. It's a scan of an existing barrow and in this image the archaeological team see a segmented ditch and 24 deep pits which they say would probably have been dug for timbers and a wooden structure. A wooden henge. The diagram on the right shows this more clearly.

I don't have any new info. Many seem to be missing the point in the article. Yes, woodhenge has been known for some time. There are earthwork structures around the original henge that are only now being identified.

Here is a link to 'lost' cities of the ancient world. Well worth a gander.
