3100BC: Stonehenge

Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. It was built in several stages: the first monument was an early henge monument, built about 3100 BC, and the unique stone circle was erected in about 2500 BC. Today, it forms the heart of a World Heritage Site, its purpose... To tell time.

"Stonehenge is important. It presents one of man's first attempts to order his view of the outside world."

Stephen Gardiner
