Today's addition: Perdigões - a very large wood henge in Portugal The site of Perdigões comprises a set of ditched enclosures located in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, Évora district, in the Alentejo hinterland (South Portugal).
https://perdresearch.blogspot.com/p/per ... opsis.htmlThe Perdigões Neolithic “Woodhenge” discovery is remarkable because nothing like it has ever been found in Portugal before. Archaeologists discovered the new Neolithic “Woodhenge” within the Perdigões complex in southeast Portugal. The complex is one of the most important late Stone Age sites in the Iberian Peninsula, built around 5000 years ago, in the Middle Neolithic period. The 16-hectare (40-acre) site has many concentric ditched enclosures.
Could have been built before Woodhenge. Or after. Or at the same time-ish.
What is striking about the discovery is that it is not like anything else found in the region. The characteristics of “Woodhenge” are almost identical to structures found in central Europe and the British Isles. One of the best known of these circular timber structures is the one found near Stonehenge.
Did they have the same sub-contractors as Woodhenge?
Alright guv? You know it's gorn past the Autumn Equinox dontcha? It's started getting cold and wet up north 'ere in Woodhenge territory. So we're just orf ter see ter another contract darn sarf where it's warmer for the winter. See yer later.Added to Carto.
