Researchers discover a mini-Stonhenge

"Bluehenge" has been discovered by researchers from Sheffield University a mile away from the famed Stonehenge. The 5,000 year old site has been named for the blue hue of the spotted dolerite stones (igneous rock harder than granite). The rocks were originally mined in the Preseli mountains and transported 200 miles to the site on the banks of the river Avon. A series of holes indicate where the stones once stood. Further details will be published next February (2010).
