The most important prehistoric monument in Britain. The stones are thought to have been erected about 3,500 years ago. Stonehenge takes its name from the stones which 'hang' between upright stones. The use of which Stonehenge was put is still something of a mystery, though it is probable that it was for some kind of sun-worship.
