Archaeologists uncover Bronze Age stone circle

Archaeologists have discovered that what was thought to be a single standing stone in a forest is part of a larger ceremonial site dating back 3,700 years to the Bronze Age.
The discovery in Farley Wood, near Matlock in Derbyshire, was made after excavations by Forestry England in partnership with archaeology series Time Team.
At 2m (6.6ft) tall, the Farley Moor standing stone was previously believed to be an isolated monument.
But Forestry England said excavations uncovered evidence of a ceremonial platform beside it and identified that five other nearby stones would once have been standing, creating a circle.
Dr Lawrence Shaw, Forestry England’s lead historic environment adviser, said the discovery, which will feature in an episode aired on Time Team’s YouTube channel on Saturday, was “hugely significant and transforms our understanding” of the site.
