'Ancient' Stone Circle is a Modern Replica

A standing stone circle in Scotland that was thought to be thousands of  years old has been revealed to be merely a modern replica of such  ancient formations. The faux monument, located on a farm in the village  of Alford sparked headlines last November when it first caught the attention of archaeologists. At  the time, it was theorized that the stone circle was somewhere between  3,500 and 4,500 years old and had piqued the interest of researchers due  to its remarkably pristine condition.

"It really doesn't get much better than this," marveled archaeologist  Neil Ackerman, who was tasked with examining the site and noted that the  discovery of a complete stone circle without any pieces missing was  particularly unique. Alas, it turns out that the find was too good to be  true as the previous owner of the farm reportedly learned about the commotion coming from his former property and  contacted officials in the area with something of a confession: he built  the stone circle back in the 1990s as a tribute to the ancient  monuments found throughout Scotland.
