The Neolithic tombs, which until now had gone unnoticed under farmland despite being just 15 miles from Stonehenge, are some of the oldest monuments to have been found in Britain.
The tombs were discovered by Damian Grady, an English Heritage photographer, who flew over the area in a light aircraft taking aerial photographs of the land, looking for marks or features on the landscape suggestive of ancient monuments. One photograph showed two long mounds.
so somewhere in roughly 700 square miles of landscape that is some of the most heavily populated with neolitic remains in Europe. Thats hardly a surprise that new stuff might turn up. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
