Archaeologists have discovered an earlier, simpler stone structure located approximately three miles from Stonehenge. The newly found site suggests a potential settlement for the people who initially constructed the famous prehistoric monument. Preliminary findings indicate this earlier phase of construction predates the well-known stone circle. Researchers believe the discovery could offer valuable insights into the lives and practices of the Neolithic community responsible for the first stages of Stonehenge’s development. The site’s proximity to Stonehenge suggests a direct link between the builders and the location where they lived. Further excavation and analysis are planned to fully understand the site’s purpose and its relationship to Stonehenge. This discovery challenges previous understandings of the monument’s origins and the society that created it.
