Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles (3 km) west of Amesbury and 8

miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, with each standing stone

around 13 ft (4.1 metres) high, 6 ft 11 in (2.1 metres) wide and weighing around 25 tons. The stones

are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age

monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
