udaniel odogun (oneminyaka ema--83) uthi: “nengizakubhajadiswa ngo--1950, enigeria bekunabatjhumayeli abayi--8 000, kodwana namhlanjesi sebabalelwa ku--351 000! emihlanganweni, ngiyathinteka navane ngibona iwomakazi labantu, bese ngikhumbule uhagayi 2:7. kwamambala ujehova usikinya izizwe kuvele amagugu. nanje ngisawenza umzamo wokuthi ngitjhumayele ngezinga engingakghona ngalo ngombana leyo yindlela engitjho ngayo ukuthi, ‘ngiyathokoza jehova!’” This first stage saw the creation of a 360 ft diameter enclosure on slightly sloping grassland, which consisted of a ditch (20 ft wide, up to 7 feet deep). Apart from two entrances to the north-east and south, the ditch was continuous, and its inside bank was built up using the excavated earth and chalky rubble. Around much of the outer edge of the enclosed area some 56 pits were dug, each about 3 ft in diameter. Christened "Aubrey holes" after John Aubrey, the 17th-century archeologist who first identified them, the pits were probably intended as postholes, although no traces of timber have been found. Some evidence suggests that the holes were designed to take stone slabs. If true, this would add 500 years to the age of Stonehenge as a megalithic site.
