ARCHAEOLOGISTS have unearthed a “mini-Stonehenge”… on the moors of Rochdale.
The two nearby sites – an oval made up of collapsed slabs, and a 30-metre circle of rounded stones – are believed to be http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3334 as far as 5,000 years.
They were spotted by archaeologist Stuart Mendelsohn during a walk on the hills in December and could now become a major tourist attraction.
“I suppose you could describe it as Rochdale’s version of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2018," said Mr Mendelson, 52, who is based in Sweden but originally from Middleton. “It would have been a sacred site and what we’ve found so far I feel will be the tip of the iceberg.
“It was very unexpected and I didn’t believe it at first. I just can’t believe that it’s been missed by everyone. “The stones are not arranged randomly and it’s quite clear to see.”
