It is north-east of Stonehenge in the parish of Durrington, just north of Amesbury. ==Discovery== Woodhenge was identified in 1925 after an aerial archaeology survey by Alexander Keiller and OGS Crawford. Crawford credits the discovery to an aerial photograph taken by Squadron Leader Gilbert Insall, VC, in 1925.〔Crawford, Air-Photography for Archaeologists, 1929〕 Maud Cunnington excavated the site, originally known as Dough Cover, between 1926 and 1929.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「woodhenge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
