Mini-Stonehenge find 'important'
Archaeologists have discovered a mini-Stonehenge, a mile from the site of Wiltshire's famous stone circle.
"Bluehenge", named after the hue of the 27 stones from Wales which once formed it, has been described by researchers as a "very important"
find.
All that now exists of the 5,000-year-old site is a series of holes where the dolerite monoliths once stood.
Bluehenge lies at the end of the "Avenue" - a pathway connecting the larger Stonehenge to the River Avon.
