Almost a year after the original Stonehenge was discovered in Wiltshire, England, archaeologists have discovered a second Stonehenge. The monolithic shrine has been unearthed just miles away from the original one.

Researchers from Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes (SHLP) said in comparison to their early belief, the newly found is bigger in size. The researchers used advanced sensing technologies at the site and found more stones present beneath earth.

Using the techniques including non-invasive geophysical prospection and remote sensing technologies, the researchers were able to discover the 4,500-year-old stones. Through these new technologies, the researchers also came to know about the presence of a row of up to 90 standing stones.

Among them, some of the newly discovered stones may be measuring as high as 4.5 meters. The newly found stones are present beneath the outer bank of the Durrington Walls, which is one of the largest known henge mountains. It measures more than 1.5 kilometres in circumference and is surrounded by a 17.6 meter wide ditch and an outer bank.

Beneath the outer-bank is the place, where the researchers have found evidence of row of around 90 standing stones. Paul Garwood, a Senior Lecturer of Archaeology at the University of Birmingham, said, “Everything written previously about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancient monuments within it will need to be rewritten”.

Researchers have termed the find to be completely remarkable and also said that they have not seen anything like this in the world.
