A second Stonehenge was found just over one mile away from the famous Stonehenge by using ground penetrating radar.
Around 90 stones arranged in a line towering 15 feet tall were found just 3 feet under the surface and may be up to 4,500 years old.
‘We’re looking at one of the largest stone monuments in Europe and it has been under our noses for something like 4,000 years,’ said Professor Vince Gaffney, from the University of Bradford, one of the archaeologists leading the research. ‘It’s truly remarkable.
‘We don’t think there’s anything quite like this anywhere else in the world. This is completely new and the scale is extraordinary.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England, about 2 miles (3 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was built anywhere from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first stones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, whilst another theory suggests that bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3000 BC.

Found in 1947, the sun disc among other artifacts have been turned over to the local museum. Experts claim the disc may be 4,500 years old, dating it to the time of Stonehenge.
It is though that sun discs were created to aid in a type of sun worshiping technique.
