Description
Built in several stages, Stonehenge began about 5,000 years ago as a simple earthwork enclosure where prehistoric people buried their cremated dead. The stone circle was erected in the center of the monument in the late Neolithic period, around 2500 BC. To some, Stonehenge is a mystery, to others a pile of big rocks.
The first known excavation at Stonehenge, in the center of the monument, was undertaken in the early 17th century by the Duke of Buckingham, prompted by a visit by King James I, and subsequently commissioned the architect Inigo Jones to conduct a survey and study of the monument.
