Archaeologists suggest ‘woodhenge’ was built between 2600 and 1600BC on similar axis to English stone circle

An “extraordinary” timber circle believed to be thousands of years old and connected to Stonehenge in England has been discovered in the ground in Denmark.

The circle of at least 45 wooden posts in Aars, North Jutland, has a diameter of about 30 metres and is believed to have been constructed between 2600 and 1600BC.
