Archaeology Group Lecture: The Durrington Anomalies – Hiding in Plain Site?
17th September at 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
In this talk, Andrew Manning, (CBA Wessex) will introduce the background and latest information on work in and adjacent to the Stonehenge World Heritage site, where different projects appear to have identified elements of what was sprung upon the world in 2021 in a TV Channel 5 special as the discovery of a massive, Late Neolithic monument associated with the Durrington Walls Henge. But is all as it seems?
The identification of the monument is controversial, and academic papers in 2025 have continued to fire the debate about whether the monument really exists. Do we have the find of a life-time of international significance, or is it “fake news”‘? … you decide!
The Museum Archaeology Group lectures take place on the third Thursday of the month (note the change in week and venue), starting at 7:30. Tea and coffee are available to buy before the talks.
Admission to the talks is free for museum members (donations welcome), £3 for non-members.
Please see the Museum Events Calendar for the dates and details of all this year’s talks, and the Archaeology Group page for more information about our activities.
