Sadly, it’s not The Pandorica. Maybe a better word would be ‘luckily.’ All you non-Dr Who fans will have to wait a tick for the real science to kick in while we reflect one more time on the 11th Doctor’s recent series finale.
A finale that involved Romans, just about every alien who’s had their plans vanquished by The Doctor, and Stonehenge. The plot takes place under Stonehenge to be exact. The Underhenge.
And inside that henge, The Pandorica(seen below in concept art).
But that’s not what they found.
Enough geeking out over what couldn’t possibly exist.(or could it?). Let’s move on to hard fact.
Using radar, the archaeologists found a circular ditch less than one kilometer away from the iconic stone circle, which is thought to date back to the Neolithic period 2,000 to 4,000 years ago.

The ditch has internal pits about a meter wide which could have held timber posts. It measures 25 meters (82 ft) in diameter, just five meters less than Stonehenge.
“From the general shape, we would guess it dates backs to about the time when Stonehenge was emerging at its most complex,” Gaffney said.
“This is probably the first major ceremonial monument that has been found in the past 50 years or so.
Maybe our memory is playing tricks cause we’re almost certain a wooden henge was found years ago. Or what it just supposition then?
