Stonehenge Circle Mystery Solved

Archaeologists have long wondered whether Stonehenge had once formed a complete circle, and a dry summer has given them their answer. Emerging grass growth patterns reveal that the world-famous landmark was, indeed, once a complete circle. The hose used to water the grass at Stonehenge happened to be too short to water the area where the rest of the circle once stood, leaving that section to dry out and reveal the patter of the complete circle. "It's great that people who know the site really well and look at it every day were able to spot these parch marks and recognize them for what they were,” said Susan Greaney of English Heritage, a British history organization. “If we'd had a longer hosepipe we might not have been able to see them.”
