HEADLINE TALK: Here Comes the Sun: Recent findings at Bulford by Phil Harding
Join us for our Festival of Archaeology headline talk!
Following the ground breaking announcement earlier this month about the discovery of the 5,000-year-old ‘prototype’ for Stonehenge solar alignment, Phil Harding joins us for an exclusive talk about the site in Bulford, excavated as part of the Ministry of Defence’s Army Basing Programme.
Radiocarbon dated to around 5,000 years ago, the discovery reveals evidence for the earliest known alignment with the solstice in the Stonehenge landscape, showing that ancient people were using this feat of astronomical engineering to celebrate the solstice here at least 500 years before the alignment captured by the sarsen stones at Stonehenge.
