MISTERIES IN ENGLAND




STONEHENGE

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km) north of Salesbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworhks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic  and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was built anywhere from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.  Radiocarbon in 2008 suggested that the first stones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, whilst another theory suggests that  blustones may have been raised at the site as early as 3000 BC.
The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The siteand its surrounding  were added to the UNESCO's list of World heritage sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a national legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by  english Heritage, while the surrounding land is owned by the Nattional Trust.
