Stones in Circles and the Ancients that Loved Them - TAS 179

What this episode covers

News from the English Countryside is dominating the podcast today! We've got a 4,800 year old stone circle on top of a henge and two from Stonehenge. The first is about the parasites that the early builders of Stonehenge suffered from and the second is about ancient pits, lots of them, found in the area around Stonehenge. Those ancients really DID love their stones in circles! Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business? Zencastr makes it really easy! Click this message for more info.
