It's been quite the week for amazing archeological discoveries, and they just keep coming. National Geographic is now reporting that a large ancient settlement has been found near Stonehenge, and they now believe that the settlement belonged to the architects and builders of that monument.
The settlement is believed to be more than 4600 years old, and has a variety of links to Stonehenge including a road, a near by river, and evidence of rituals in the village itself. There also seems to have been another "henge" made out of wood, that has long since rotted away. Radio carbon dating on both the stones at Stonehenge and the village but them in the same era.
You can check out photos of the site here and video here.
