Archaeologists in Britain have unearthed an ancient Neolithic henge on housing development grounds in Kent, England. According to a report in Culture24, the massive structure may have been used later on as a funerary complex, known as a barrow, in the Bronze Age, when an inner ring was also added. Researchers have said the ancient monument would have once looked quite similar to Stonehenge.
The discovery was made by Dr Paul Wilkinson and his team from Swale and Thames Archaeological Survey Company (SWAT), who investigated the site ahead of a housing development at Iwade Meadows, Sittingbourne in Kent. They commissioned a local aerial photography drone service called Skyspider Aerial Imaging to capture the spectacular sight. A high definition video of the ancient henge can be seen below.
