Solstice-aligned 5,000-year-old monument ‘once in a lifetime find’, say archaeologists

Archaeologists have unearthed a 5,000-year-old monument near Stonehenge, believed to be a prototype for the more famous site, aligned with both the summer and winter solstices. This discovery, described as a rare opportunity, could offer fresh insights into the evolution of monumental structures in Neolithic Britain. The find suggests a possible precursor to Stonehenge's solar alignment, potentially reshaping our understanding of prehistoric rituals and the development of these iconic landmarks.
