It is possible that features such as the Heel Stone and the low mound known as the North Barrow were early components of Stonehenge, [3] but the earliest known major event was the construction of a circular ditch with an inner and outer bank, built about 3000 BC. This enclosed an area about 100 metres in diameter, and had two entrances. It was an early form of henge monument. [4]

From the 1880s, various stones had been propped up with timber poles, but concern for the safety of visitors grew when an outer sarsen upright and its lintel fell in 1900. The then owner, Sir Edmund Antrobus, with the help of the Society of Antiquaries, organised the re-erection of the leaning tallest trilithon in 1901.

From 1927, the National Trust began to acquire the land around Stonehenge to preserve it and restore it to grassland. Large areas of the Stonehenge landscape are now in their ownership. More recent improvements to the landscape – including the removal of the old visitor facilities and the closure of the section of the old A344 that ran close to the stones – have begun the process of returning Stonehenge to an open grassland setting, but there is more that can be done. English Heritage welcomes government plans to invest in a tunnel, which would remove much of the busy A303 and help reconnect the monument to its ancient landscape. Sarah Knapton (19 December 2014).

The circle at Waun Mawn also contained a hole from one stone which had a distinctive pentagonal shape, very closely matching the one pentagonal stone at Stonehenge (stonehole91 at Waun Mawn / stone62 at Stonehenge). [31] [32] Soil dating of the sediments within the revealed stone holes, via optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), suggested the absent stones at Waun Mawn had been erected around 3400–3200 BC, and removed around 300–400 years later, a date consistent with theories that the same stones were moved and used at Stonehenge, before later being reorganised into their present locations and supplemented with local sarsens as was already understood. [31] [32] Human activity at Waun Mawn ceased around the same time which has suggested that some people may have migrated to Stonehenge. [31] [32] It has also been suggested that stones from other sources may have been added to Stonehenge, perhaps from other dismantled circles in the region.

The wealth from such trade probably permitted the Wessex people to construct the second and third ( megalithic) phases of Stonehenge and also indicates a powerful form of social organisation. [74]Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0m) high, seven feet (2.1m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice and sunset on the winter solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds). [2]

PMID 32555485.However, following a European Court of Human Rights ruling obtained by campaigners such as Arthur Uther Pendragon, the restrictions were lifted. [98] The ruling recognized that members of any genuine religion have a right to worship in their own church, and Stonehenge is a place of worship to Neo-Druids, Pagans and other "Earth based' or 'old' religions. [100] Meetings were organised by the National Trust and others to discuss the arrangements. [101] In 1998, a party of 100 people was allowed access and these included astronomers, archaeologists, Druids, locals, pagans and travellers. [101] In 2000, an open summer solstice event was held and about seven thousand people attended. [101] In 2001, the numbers increased to about 10,000. [101] Setting and access Stonehenge at sunset
