secretagent09: ...a circle of shafts, 1.2 miles (2 km) in diameter....
The site is located about 2 miles northeast of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, and evidence suggests the shafts date back to the same period, some 4,500 years ago.
Gaffney said the circle of shafts, each about 10 metres (33 ft) wide and 5 metres deep, demonstrated the desire of Neolithic communities to record their belief systems in ways and at a scale that researchers had never anticipated.
Interesting subject, SA. I hope somewhere the description is less nebulous.The site is located about 2 miles northeast of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, and evidence suggests the shafts date back to the same period, some 4,500 years ago.

Don't know how they moved them,because the ferries were on strike & there wasn't a Scania to found anywhere
There seemingly were British Celtic & Anglo Saxons
The Treachery of the Long Knives (Welsh: Brad y Cyllyll Hirion) was a pseudohistorical massacre of British Celtic chieftains by Anglo-Saxon soldiers at a peace conference on Salisbury Plain in the 5th century. The story is not included in any contemporary accounts, but does feature centuries later in the semi-mythological histories of the Historia Brittonum and the Historia Regum Britanniae. Though a popular cautionary tale in medieval Europe, no historical evidence for The Treachery of the Long Knives exists, and the story has been widely debunked as a purely literary construction by historians.

Maybe those shafts were filled with wood posts. Maybe to use as lifts to move the stones into place?
What gets me is how much work primitive cultures went to building and moving things that outweighed a thousand men. Why? To speak to the gods? To last long after they did? And yet future men or nature destroy it anyway.
I got an idea, carve the name of my farm into a granite boulder. And this spring can barely see it. Weathered already and filling with lichens. So much for living on beyond me.
Then you have Daesh who went into the middle east and blew up and destroyed ruins and statues on the world heritage lists. Nothing done to them is enough. Too bad they can't be shot twice.

The site is located about 2 miles northeast of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, and evidence suggests the shafts date back to the same period, some 4,500 years ago.
"This is an unprecedented find of major significance within the U.K.," said Vincent Gaffney, one of the archaeologists leading the project.
"Key researchers on Stonehenge and its landscape have been taken aback by the scale of the structure and the fact that it hadn't been discovered until now so close to Stonehenge," he said.
Gaffney said the circle of shafts, each about 10 metres (33 ft) wide and 5 metres deep, demonstrated the desire of Neolithic communities to record their belief systems in ways and at a scale that researchers had never anticipated.
The discovery was made without the need for excavations, using remote sensing technology and sampling.
