Video: Stonehenge's secret SISTER: Archaeologists discover an ancient monument just three miles away that may have served as a 'prototype' for the famous stones

Archaeologists have discovered a secret sister monument to Stonehenge that might have served as a 'prototype' for the famous stones. This ancient site is just three miles away from Stonehenge itself, located in the village of Bulford, Wiltshire. Consisting of two wooden poles placed 400 feet (120 metres) apart, this long–lost monument might appear rather basic at first glance. However, scientists say the poles would have formed a perfect line pointing to the rising sun during the summer solstice and the setting sun on the winter solstice.
