Archaeologists in northern Denmark have discovered the remains of a large timber circle that is thousands of years old and has parallels to England's Stonehenge. This open-air structure was likely part of a larger "ritual landscape" used by prehistoric people of the Late Neolithic (New Stone Age) and Early Bronze Age (2600 to 1600 B.C.).
"This is an extraordinary find," Sidsel Wåhlin, curator at the Vesthimmerlands Museum and excavation co-leader, said in a statement. "The timber circle provides valuable insights into the ritual practices and social structures of this internationally connected prehistoric society."
