Stonehenge has always been a place of intrigue for me. I've been there once and hope to have a chance to go again. There's just something interesting about a place that science has been struggling to figure out for thousands of years.
Today, Time Magazine has an article about a second site nearby Stonehenge.

British archaeologists have uncovered an extensive Neolithic settlement not two miles away that was possibly once home to hundreds of people. They have also unearthed a physical link between that settlement and Stonehenge: a 4,500-year-old stone avenue runs between the settlement at Durrington Walls and the nearby River Avon. Since a similar avenue was unearthed in the 1960s linking the river to Stonehenge, researchers believe ancient Brits almost certainly traveled between the two sites, both carbon-dated to 2,600-2,500 B.C. "We knew these were from broadly the same period, but the idea that it forms a single integrated complex is quite new," says Julian Thomas, a director of the project and an archaeologist at the University of Manchester. "It completely changes our understanding of Stonehenge."
