Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about 2.0 miles (3 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous websites in the world, Stonehenge is built around a large mass of standing stones set inland. At the center of the problem is the overcrowded Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, which contain several hundred burial mounds.

Archaeologists believe that a permanent monument was erected everywhere from 3000 BC to 2000 BC, as described within the chronology below. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the main stones be placed in 2400-2200 BC, just as one theory suggests that bluestones could also be built on a web page before 3000 BC (see paragraph 1 below).

The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which is the first phase of the monument, was mentioned around 3100 BC. The website and surrounding areas were also introduced to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986 in a list that coincided with the Avebury Henge memorial. It is a land of ancient monuments that is officially covered. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and is controlled by English Heritage, and the consolidated land is owned by the National Trust.
