Novel scientific method proves pit circle near Stonehenge was man-made, say researchers

Archaeologists use multiple types of geophysics equipment to analyse ‘extraordinary structure’

The presence of an extraordinary circle of yawning pits created by Neolithic people near Stonehenge has been proved thanks to a novel combination of scientific techniques, a team of archaeologists is claiming.

While the architects of Stonehenge had the heavens in mind when they built the great stone monument in Wiltshire, the team believes the makers of the Durrington pit circle may have been more interested in an underworld.
