Stonehenge, Salisbury

Stonehenge is the most important prehistoric monument in Britain. It consists of earth, timber, and stone structures. Stonehenge dates from 3100-2300 B.C. The purpose of Stonehenge has many theories - temple for sun worship (a druid temple) a burial ground, an astronomical calendar ? Some of the stones were deliberately transported there with considerable effort from a great distance away - a truly remarkable achievement. The great stone circles and horseshoe arrangements for which Stonehenge is famous are later additions to the monument.
