A new discovery of something old near Stonehenge....
Ancient pits, filled in by time but still distinguishable with remote-sensing equipment, circle the prehistoric settlement now designated Durrington Walls, about three kilometers from Stonehenge. The circle is about two kilometers in diameter, taking in the Woodhenge site, and each pit, when fully dug, was about ten meters wide and five deep. Whatever the ancient people's reason for this project, it seems they took it seriously, to do so much digging.
Warning: At least one of the news articles included writing so sloppy and not-proofread that it'll make you despair of humanity. And don't get me started on the reader comments....

Considering that one dictionary definition of "carry on" is to "behave or speak in a foolish, excited, or improper manner," the designers of that famous poster, "Keep Calm and Carry On," need to make up their flippin' minds!
