COPENHAGEN - Danish archeologists have uncovered a 4,000-year-old circle of wooden piles that they say could be linked to Britain’s world-renowned Stonehenge.

The 45 neolithic-era wooden pieces, in a circle with a diameter of about 30m, were found during work on a housing estate in the north-western town of Aars. The piles are about 2m apart.

“It is a once-in-a-lifetime find,” Ms Sidsel Wahlin, conservationist at the town’s Vesthimmerland museum, said in an e-mail to AFP. The circle “points to a strong connection with the British henge world”, she added.
