Archaeologists have been working on the site in Dorstone for a month 
  
 Ancient "halls of the dead" more than 1,000 years older than Stonehenge have been found under elongated burial mounds in Herefordshire. 
  
 The two earth 'long barrows' were uncovered on top of Dorstone Hill near Peterchurch and are thought to date to about 3,800BC. 
  
 The archaeologists believe the barrows were created by the setting ablaze wooden long houses, the ashes of which were then covered in earth. 
  
 They believe the initial torching of the sites would have been done for symbolic reasons. From the finds, they have worked out that people continued to worship at the there for hundreds of years afterwards. 
  
 The longhouses were about 30m wide by 70m long 
  
 Professor Julian Thomas of Manchester University said the site is the only one of its type in the UK where "the halls of the living became the halls of the dead". 
  
 "With this phenomenon of deliberately burning down buildings, tending the fire over a period of days, the argument is that you burn these down when the head of the family dies," he said. 
  
 "Here, no new house has been built, but instead they have shovelled up the remains into these barrows and enclosed them with turf."

 Archaeologists have spent a month excavating the mounds during which time they have uncovered fine examples of flint weapons and tools. 
  
 The items were either buried in the barrows when they were first created or later left as offerings to the dead, suggesting the site became one used for ritualistic ceremonies. 
  
 Prof Thomas said the monuments are the first their kind to be found in the UK and are of international significance. 
  
 Dorstone is in Herefordshire, close to the modern Welsh border 
  
 Not much is known about the Ancient Britons of the time, except that by 4,000BC, they had only recently started to settle in established communities. Before that, many had been largely nomadic. 
  
 It is believed that Neolithic long houses - long, steep-roofed buildings used to house people and animals under one roof - were introduced as farming began in Europe around 5,000BC. 
  
 The long houses found under the barrows at Dorstone are some of the earliest known examples in the country. 
  
 Construction of the stone structure at Stonehenge, by comparison, is thought to have started in 2,600BC.

 The archaeologists have managed to work out, by an analysis of post holes at the original ground level, that the long houses that would have stood on the site would have been around 30m wide by 70m long - the same size as the barrows that covered them. 
  
 Although made originally of earth, at a later date the barrows were covered in stones to form cairns like those found in the Black Mountains of Wales. 
  
 The smaller of the barrows has the remains of holes which are thought to have contained oak posts that supported a trough lined with planks upon which human remains would be placed. 
  
 Among the objects found at the site were some that had come from as far away as East Yorkshire. 
  
 The researchers said they were likely to have been brought by families treating the spot as an ancestral pilgrimage site. ||||| Unearthed, the ancient 'halls of the dead' that are 1,000 years OLDER than Stonehenge 
  
  
  
 Manchester archaeologists have found communal halls that were first 'ritually' burned and then covered over with soil to form large barrows 
  
 The buildings were burned down when the head of the family died 
  
 The structures were discovered on top of Dorstone Hill in Herefordshire and are thought to date to about 3,800BC 
  
 Archeologists have found two stone axe-heads, a flint hand knife and an arrowhead and have described the discovery as a 'very important find' 
  
 Ancient 'halls of the dead' pre-dating Stonehenge are being heralded by archaeologists as the first monuments of their kind to be found in the UK. 
  
 The two earth long barrows were uncovered on top of Dorstone Hill in Herefordshire and are thought to date to about 3,800BC, almost 1,000 years before the famous stone circle in Wiltshire was built, according to Professor Julian Thomas, of the University of Manchester. 
  
 Archaeologists who have spent a month excavating the mounds say they have removed fine examples of flint weapons and tools, thought to have been buried in the barrows when first created or later left as offerings to the dead. 
  
 A flaked flint knife (pictured) was found in a cremation pit dug into the side of one of the two long barrows as the remains of two large 6000-year-old halls, each buried within a prehistoric burial mound, have been discovered in Herefordshire 
  
 Professor Thomas said the site was the only one of its type in the UK where 'the halls of the living became the halls of the dead', with the long communal halls first 'ritually' burned and then covered over with soil and turf to form the large barrows. 
  
 He said: 'With this phenomenon of deliberately burning down buildings, tending the fire over a period of days, the argument is that you burn these down when the head of the family dies. 
  
 'Here, no new house has been built, but instead they have shovelled up the remains into these barrows and enclosed them with turf. 
  
 He added: 'It's a very important site.' 
  
 Among the finds are two stone axe-heads, a flint hand knife and an arrowhead, with some of the raw materials used in their construction pointing to origins hundreds of miles away from where they were found, according to the dig team. 
  
 An artist's impression of the Neolithic long hall. Two earth long barrows were uncovered that archeologists believe date to about 3,800BC, almost 1,000 years before Stonehenge was built 
  
 The barrows themselves date to the early Neolithic period when the ancient Britons were starting to settle into small communities. 
  
 In one possible clue to the violence of the period, a broken flint arrowhead was discovered in a stone burial chamber uncovered off the side of one of the barrows - although the human remains of the arrow's possible victim which would have lain within the cairn have long since disappeared due to the acidity of the soil, Professor Thomas said. 
  
 Archaeologists have also been excited by the level of preservation in the timber construction of the original hall buildings, with the intense heat of the fire carbonising the wood's form even, including the joints and post holes. 
  
 The barrows measure 30 metres and 70 metres in length, with a single main burial chamber at each end. 
  
 Although made originally of earth, at a later date they were covered in stone like cairns found in the Black Mountains of Wales, Professor Thomas said. 
  
 Investigation trenches dug at the site on top of Dorstone Hill in Herefordshire. Professor Thomas said the site was the only one of its type in the UK where 'the halls of the living became the halls of the dead,' with the long communal halls first 'ritually' burned and then covered over with soil and turf to form the large barrows 
  
 The smaller of the barrows has the remains of holes, thought to have contained two metre-wide upright oak posts between which was supported a trough lined with planks upon which the human remains would be placed. 
  
 The dig has been carried out by a team from the Manchester university, the University of Kyushu and Herefordshire Council, who will return to the site to continue work next year. 
  
 Dr Keith Ray, Herefordshire county archaeologist and dig co-director, said: 'In the British context, the Dorstone find is unique and unprecedented.' 
  
 Professor Thomas said they had uncovered a picture of a 'monument that keeps changing' with the needs of the people living around it at the time. 
  
 He added: 'This is a special place with significance as new bodies and new offerings are deposited here. 
  
 'Hundreds of years after the first burial, there are very fine flint objects being left here. 
  
 Professor Julian Thomas professor of archaeology at the University of Manchester (pictured) described the site as 'a very important find'. Archaeologists have also been excited by the level of preservation in the timber construction of the original hall buildings 
  
 'It's a very important site, firstly because for the first time we have the fabric of an early Neolithic hall being incorporated into the building of a funerary monument. 
  
 'Also, because of the preservation of the remains of the structure including evidence of carpentry, we are going to be able to say rather more about the character of these early Neolithic buildings.' 
  
 Dr Ray said the fact more burial chambers and artefacts had been left at the site hundreds of years after it was first created showed its national importance. 
  
 'These subsequent finds show that 1,000 years after the hall burial mounds were made, the site is still important to later generations living 200 miles away - a vast distance in Neolithic terms,' he said. 
  
 'For example, the axe and knife may not have been traded, but placed there as part of a ceremony or an ancestral pilgrimage from what is now East Yorkshire. |||||
Output:
Archaeologists have unearthed two ancient buildings in England thought to be 6,000 years old—that's 1,000 years older than Stonehenge. The remains of the 320-foot-long wooden long houses were found under burial mounds in Herefordshire. They are believed to have been deliberately, symbolically burned down—probably when the head of a family died—and then turned into burial places where people would worship for hundreds of years, Sky News reports. "The halls of the living became the halls of the dead," says one of the archaeologists behind the dig. As proof of the site's long-lasting significance, the researchers found items like flint weapons and tools dating from hundreds of years after the long houses were built and originating from neighboring areas, reports the Daily Mail. "These subsequent finds show that 1,000 years after the hall burial mounds were made, the site is still important to later generations living 200 miles away—a vast distance in Neolithic terms," the archaeologist says. The items "may not have been traded, but placed there as part of a ceremony or an ancestral pilgrimage," suggesting "an inter-connected community" linked by ancestry and marriage.
