A circle of deep shafts has been discovered near the world heritage site of Stonehenge, to the astonishment of archaeologists, who have described it as the largest prehistoric structure ever found in Britain.
Four thousand five hundred years ago, the Neolithic peoples who constructed Stonehenge, a masterpiece of engineering, also dug a series of shafts aligned to form a circle spanning 1.2 miles (2km) in diameter. The structure appears to have been a boundary guiding people to a sacred area because Durrington Walls, one of Britain’s largest henge monuments, is located precisely at its centre. The site is 1.9 miles north-east of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, near Amesbury, Wiltshire.

Got to be another explanation.
That’s a lot of work to be a passive traffic guide when a stick and arrows would do.
Spaceship parking lot markers.
No one knows who they were, or what they were doing.
Future bunker of Joe Biden? He likes hiding in bunkers.
There’s a Doctor Who episode about this.
Yup. My first question is:
OK that’s nice but did you find the Pandorica?
I haven’t re-watched that movie in years. I’m putting in on my list to dig out of the archives on home movie night.
I guess they were roofed over, and used for food storage and/or lodging, for crowds to attend events
If you have Amazon Prime, there is a British series called “Walking Through History” with Tony Robinson and the Season 2 (2013) Episode 1 is called “The Path to Stonehenge”. It is a good gloss of the known history (changed a bit since) but excellent for seeing the countryside. This does include a brief stop & talk on Durrington Walls.
Recommended for Anglophiles for the entire series. Another excellent episode talks about ‘Poldark’ country in Cornwall and why smuggling was so big in the 1780s-1820s. The answer is, in part, very high custom duties (up as high as 150%) on many things readily available in France and the Channel Islands. Smuggle or go to debtors prison, what a choice!
