Scientists find huge ring of ancient shafts near Stonehenge:
Archaeologists said Monday that they have discovered a major prehistoric monument under the earth near Stonehenge that could shed new light on the origins of the mystical stone circle in southwestern 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 (32 feet) in diameter and 5 meters (16 feet) deep, forming a circle more than 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in diameter.
The new find is at Durrington Walls, the site of a Neolithic village about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from Stonehenge,
Researchers say the shafts appear to have been dug around 4,500 years ago, and could mark the boundary of a sacred area or precinct around a circular monument known as the Durrington Walls henge.
The hollows were initially thought to be natural voids in the limestone before the larger picture emerged to show a circle.

Pembrokeshire is 150 miles away. If they only sent them 18 miles probably need to complain to paypal.

I only posted the quote because it's the quote that appears when you build Stonehenge in Civilization VI.
It grants +2 Faith and a great prophet so that you can found a religion.
You're welcome.

Civ Vi is so much better than Alpha Centauri. I might need to check out Colonization though, I have never heard of it.
