The great and ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is one of the world’s most extraordinary and enduring wonders. What visitors see today are the impressive remains of the final phase in a sequence of monuments constructed between circa 3000 BC and 1600 BC. Each phase featured a circular structure, carefully aligned with the rising sun at the midsummer solstice, highlighting the site’s deep connection to celestial events.

For centuries, Stonehenge has inspired intense debate about its original purpose. What is certain is that it stood at the heart of a landscape rich in prehistoric ceremonial structures, serving as a focal point for ritual and gathering. The monument also represents an astonishing investment of labour and time. Stones weighing several tons were transported over tens—and in some cases hundreds—of miles by land and water, then shaped, positioned, and raised with remarkable precision. Such an achievement could only have been accomplished by a highly organised and sophisticated society with advanced planning, engineering knowledge, and communal cooperation.

One of Stonehenge’s most remarkable features is its precise alignment with the movements of the sun. Whether this reflects a culture devoted to sun worship, or whether the monument functioned as part of a vast astronomical calendar, remains unresolved. What is beyond dispute, however, is the ingenuity of its builders. Using only basic tools, they expertly shaped massive stones and created complex mortise-and-tenon joints to secure the lintels atop the uprights. Antlers and bones were used to dig the deep pits for the stones and to form the surrounding banks and ditches.

Today, mystery still surrounds this 5,000-year-old monument, set within the wider Stonehenge World Heritage Site. Visit this iconic prehistoric landmark and decide for yourself whether Stonehenge was a place of sun worship, a healing sanctuary, a sacred burial ground—or something else entirely.
