Stonehenge is a megalithic monument on the
Salisbury Plain in Southern England, aligned in a
circle. The circular bank and ditch, double
circle of bluestones(spotted dolerite), and
circle of sarsen stones (some with white
lintels), are concentric, and the main axis is
aligned on the midsummer sunrise an orientation
that was probably for ritual rather than
scientific purposes. The archaeology points to a
construction date between 5,000 and 3,000 years
ago.
