The never-before-seen monument is made up of a ring of prehistoric ditches now buried deep underground and was captured in County Meath, Ireland, close to Newgrange, a 5,000-year-old Neolithic tomb. Like Stonehenge in Wiltshire, the circular site features rings of pits or post holes around its edge and an entrance (top right), as well as a central double-ditch ring with a causeway (labelled in red). It was spotted in close to a 5,000-year-old Neolithic tomb called Newgrange (left; bottom right images). Historic landmarks have been cropping up across the UK in recent weeks as a recent bout of hot weather reveals imprints on fields and lawns that mark the sites of old and prehistoric features. The outlines of World War II airfields and shelters have appeared in Hampshire and Cambridge, as well as long-buried Roman villages in Wales and Norfolk and a once-removed Victorian garden in Lancashire.
