    Solstice-aligned 5,000-year-old monument ‘once in a lifetime find’, say archaeologists

    Archaeologists with Wessex Archaeology have discovered a 5,000-year-old solstice-aligned monument near Wiltshire, potentially serving as a prototype for Stonehenge. The structure at Bulford, carbon-dated to 3000BC, predates the trilithon stones at Stonehenge by 500 years and aligns with summer and winter solstices.
