'Italian Stonehenge' found on mountain


A series of prehistoric stone structures, reminiscent of Stonehenge but taller and possibly earlier, have been located 3,500ft above sea level on a mountain in Calabria, southern Italy.

The structures - now largely in ruins as a result of earthquakes - are mainly made up of two columns of large, square granite blocks, topped by a lintel.
