New archaeological information about Stonehenge. From the page: "Previous researches showed that the Cursus was built around 3100BC, but recent discoveries date in at about 3500BC. This makes the Cursus 500 years older than the Stonehenge itself. The discovery was made by a team of archaeologists from the University of Manchester, led by Professor Julian Thomas. The team was able to pinpoint the new date after discovering an antler pick used to dig the Cursus."
