Re: Second timber circle on Holme beach radiocarbon dated to 2049BC, the time of Seah by Andy B on Wednesday, 02 July 2014

This is odd because we published a news item in August 2004 saying "Archaeologists have finally gone on record and confirmed that a second timber circle found within yards of Seahenge was even older. Carbon dating shows it dates back to 2400BC – more than three centuries before Bronze Age people overturned a giant tree stump and surrounded it with a ring of oak posts, for reasons we have yet to fathom."

But that one was apparently 'within yards' whereas this Holme 2 is 4km away, a location given by our local contact bec-zog. Is this a third circle or is our location wrong?
