Durrington Walls, Neolithic monument site in Wiltshire, England.
The circular earthwork measures 500 meters in diameter with substantial banks and ditches surrounding a central depression in the landscape.
Archaeological excavations between 2004 and 2006 revealed seven Neolithic houses dating from 2800 to 2100 BCE, indicating a major settlement period.
The settlement functioned as a gathering place for thousands of people who participated in ceremonies connected to the winter solstice sunrise.
The archaeological site contains visible remains of banks and ditches with two main entrances at the northwest and southeast positions.
Below the walls, researchers discovered evidence of 90 standing stones using specialized archaeological detection methods in 2015.
Location: Wiltshire
Part of: Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites
