Each pit is about 5m in depth and 10m in width, i.e. pretty big holes to hack out by hand in chalky ground four and half thousand years ago. They've found twenty of them so far and estimate that there were originally forty of them. They were laid out to form a circle 2 km in diameter around the Durrington Walls site. It's currently one of, if not the largest, prehistoric structure ever found in the UK. It's close by to many other similar sites. The Guardian's headline doesn't really do the scale of ancient endeavour being confirmed by the reported research justice.
