A MAJOR archaeological find of international significance has been discovered on the site of Hereford's new relief road.

A ribbon of fire-cracked stones, which is thought to have been constructed around 2000 BC, has been uncovered close to the new Rotherwas access road.

The stones, which have been carefully laids to form a surface, date back to the same period as Stonehedge and are dated as being constructed during the early bronze age.
