Huge Ritual Arena Discovered Near Stonehenge

New submitter pabloApicco writes: A row of 90 megalithic stones has been found buried beneath a grassy bank only two miles from the world-famous site of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. Believed to have been a huge ritual monument, the long line of megalithic stones lies 3 feet underground, and was found using sophisticated radar equipment. “What we are starting to see is the largest surviving stone monument, preserved underneath a bank, that has ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe,” said Vince Gaffney, an archaeologist at Bradford University who leads the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape project. “This is archeology on steroids.” Here's a satellite map of the new site.

I believe most ground penetrating radar operations require a minimum of a goat.

I'm guessing the outrageous success of this must have involved several adults, and at least one virgin.

I believe the latter is also fairly standard in any usage of this technology, and mandatory in product development.
