Believed to have been built around 3,200 BC, the Stonehenge is a mystic structure comprising of several earthworks. They are timber, earth and stone structures which have been re-modelled several times over a span of two thousand years. The place was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1986.
The foremost element of this place that strikes visitors is the Avenue which comprises of twin banks and is located at the entrance of the earthwork enclosure. Lying within the earthwork enclosure is a red sarsen stone called the Slaughter Stone.
The
Station Stones, four small upright stones, and the
Aubrey Holes, which is a bank of 56 pits, are spectacular sights around this place. Another interesting structure is the
Heel Stone which is a huge untouched sarsen.
