Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain

Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England. A group of standing stones on Salisbury Plain in southern England. Constructed c. 2000-1800 B.C., the megaliths are enclosed by a circular ditch and embankment that may date to c. 2800. The arrangement of the stones suggests that Stonehenge was used as a religious center and also as an astronomical observatory.
