Stonehenge is a prehistoric megalithic structure located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, composed of massive sarsen stones and smaller bluestones arranged in concentric circles. Built in several phases between 3000 and 2000 BCE, it served likely as a ceremonial, astronomical, or burial site-its precise purpose remains debated among archaeologists. The monument’s alignment with solstices and sophisticated engineering reflect advanced Neolithic knowledge and cultural significance.
