Excuse us while we temporarily make Stonehenge a “fandom,” to discuss the awesome new discovery of a so-called Superhenge.

You may have noticed that #Stonehenge is trending on Twitter today — not because the aliens have finally landed, but because archaeologists have uncovered something (potentially) much more remarkable.

Early reports on the BBC state that the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes team have discovered what might turn out to be the largest Neolithic structure in Britain, under the Durrington Walls.

The “superhenge” site is five times the area of Stonehenge. Like Stonehenge, the stones are thought to be sandstone; they’re about 4,500 years old, and measure 15 feet in length. About 100 of these stones have been identified under the earth’s surface, using remote sensing and geophysical imaging technology.

While the Durrington Walls are about 100 years younger than the Stonehenge circle, the new structure is believed to be a contemporary of Stonehenge, or perhaps an even earlier construction.

Archaeologists believe that the recently uncovered stone monoliths, buried near Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, are part of an ancient monument.

The BBC quotes lead researcher Vince Gaffney as saying, “We don’t think there’s anything quite like this anywhere else in the world. This is completely new and the scale is extraordinary.”

What’s fascinating about Stonehenge, of course, is the sheer scale of it. People have long been mystified by just how exactly early humans assembled such a gigantic structure, and for what purpose (hence the alien conspiracy theory), and now, we just got a new piece of the puzzle.

This news comes on the heels of last year’s discovery of 15 previously unknown monuments in the Stonehenge area. Nothing to the magnitude of Superhenge, but it’s always exciting to learn more about what the hell was going on back then!
