Some ancient neolithic stones that are older than Stonehenge are being knocked down so that a DIY store can be built.
The decision has caused outrage at the site in Carnac, in France’s Brittany region, which is well known for its extensive fields of Neolithic-era stones, known as ‘menhir’.
The stones are pretty big, measuring around 3ft (1m) high and have been carbon dated and were built from 5,480 to 5,320 BC – making them older than Stonehenge.
