 Archaeologists have unearthed, what is believed to be the largest Neolithic village ever found in Britain near Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. So far, they have excavated eight houses, but say there could be around one hundred houses. The houses are about 5m (16ft) square, and a vast amount of pottery, flint and animal bones have been discovered there.
The latest find had exactly the same layout as Neolithic houses at Skara Brae in Orkney. This picture is one of the Skara Brae habitats, that were built into mounds to protect against the harsh Orkney weather. Only the roof would have protruded above the mound. Read the whole story here.
