Scientists find something important near Stonehenge

Scientists find a very old place near the famous Stonehenge. This place is 5,000 years old. It is 500 years older than Stonehenge.

Now, there are only two big holes in the ground. A long time ago, these holes have tall pieces of wood inside them. The wood is not there now, but the lines face the sun on the longest and shortest days of the year. Scientists also find old things there, like pots, stone tools, and animal bones.

These things show that early people came together at this place. It helps us see the lives of families and children a long time ago.

Difficult words: hole (a space in the ground), wood (the hard substance which comes from trees), bone (the hard white parts inside an animal or person).

How old is this place, and how many years older is it than Stonehenge?
