Newly Found Neolithic Stone Circles Could Solve The Stonehenege Mystery

Two Newly Discovered Neolithic Stone Circles have reportedly Been Identified in Dartmoor, England, Possibly Forming Part of A 5-Mile-Leong “Sacred ARC” of ancient monumants. Independent Archaeologist Alan Endacott, Who Made The Discovery, Told a Publication that these Stone Structures Reflects Reflect the Cultural Significance of the Uplands during the new stone age. The finds, dated to roughly 5,000 years ago, are thought to be contemporary with stonehenge and indicate extended extensive construction activity in the region during that period.

The ‘Irishman’s Wall’ Site

Endacott, Pursuing a Doctorate in Archaeology at the University of Exteer, Has Been Surveying Dartmoor’s Mauorland for Decades, as per a live science ReportUsing Magnetic Gradiometry and Resisttivity Tools, He Reportedly Confirmed The Locations Earlier this year. EXCAVATIONS TOOK PLACE BETWEEN SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER, Revealing Key Details About The Circles’ Construction.

One of the sites, named “Meetheral,” Comprises about 20 stones, many of which are now overgrown or topped. This circle is estimated to measure 40 meters by 33 metres and mirrors the dimensions and design elements seen at stonehend.

Approximately One Mile from Meetheral Lies The Second Circle, Dubbed “Irishman’s Wall.” This site is reportedly less into, with only six visible stones. Subsurface analysis helped identify the structure’s outline. Endacott Told the publication that this circle may have marked an entrance to what prehistoric people registered as a sacred area.

A larger archaeological landscape

The Metheral Circle is positioned at the Northernmost Point of a Crescent of Eight Known Stone Circles, which Stretch Southward Over five Miles. Endacott’s earlier discoveries, such as the sittaford tor circle, support the hypothesis that this arc was part of a larger ceremonial complex. Independent Archaeologist Tom Greeves Described the Findings as Significant, Noting the evidence of Neolithic Activity on Dartmoor, in an interview with live science. Susan Grenyy from the University of Exeter Reported that these discoveries underscore the area’s important in prehistoric culture and point to the position to the future findings.

Dartmoor Remains An Area Rich in Neolithic Heritage, with its open uplands and extended archaeological sites continuing to reveal insights into ancient practices.
