I find it unbelievable that the professors, doctors and lecturers in archaeology involved with this project could have made such a simple mistake. Professor Vince Gaffney, when talking about the pits, said that they investigated the cursus and found "two very large pits, one in the east end and one in the west end of the cursus." He reiterates "these pits were inside the cursus." Furthermore, if you stand at the Heelstone on Midsummers Day, then the sun rises over the eastern pit and sets over the western pit. I am wondering, have you taken your information from the aerial view accompanying your news link? The "New Discovery" on that image must be the "new mini-henge" which this team claimed to have discovered some time ago.
