Discovery of a Square Megalithic Monument in Avebury Dates Back to 3000 BC
Recent archaeological research has revealed a hidden square megalithic monument within Avebury’s South Inner Circle, about 30 meters wide and dated to approximately 3000 BC. The monument appears to have been built to commemorate a foundational Neolithic house from 3700 BC, suggesting that Avebury may have had non-circular origins. The discovery was made through ground-penetrating radar and soil resistance survey, offering new perspectives on the site’s function and evolution.
