Tourists looking at Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain in September 2005 (AP/file).LONDON (AP) – Scientists scouring the area around Stonehenge said today they have uncovered a circular structure only a few hundred meters (yards) from the world famous monument. There's some debate about what exactly has been found. The survey team which uncovered the structure said it could be the foundation for a circle of freestanding pieces of timber, a wooden version of Stonehenge. But Tim Darvill, a professor of archaeology at Bournemouth University in southern England, expressed skepticism, saying he believed it was more likely a barrow, or prehistoric tomb.
