Sadly, it’s not The Pandorica<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

And inside that henge, The Pandorica<\/a>(seen below in concept art).<\/p>\n

But that’s not what they found.<\/p>\n

Enough geeking out over what couldn’t possibly exist.(or could it?). Let’s move on to hard fact.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“From the general shape, we would guess it dates backs to about the time when Stonehenge was emerging at its most complex,” Gaffney said.<\/p>\n

“This is probably the first major ceremonial monument that has been found in the past 50 years or so.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maybe our memory is playing tricks cause we’re almost certain a wooden henge was found years ago. Or what it just supposition then?<\/p>\n
