I've just been speaking to an archaeologist in Oxford who told me about the discovery of a sizable henge monument in the city centre. Sure enough:

The article notes that the discovery appears to fit with crop-mark evidence of barrows in nearby parkland. Interesting stuff.

Unfortunately, the site will soon be lost to building work.

(Apologies if this topic has been posted previously!)

Very interesting. Makes you wonder how many important ancient sites may lay undiscovered under cities.....
