It began, like any other major structure with a plan, some kind of drawing. This was created using simple geometry this plan was transferred onto the ground using ropes and pegs to mark the position against which the center (usually the centre of the inner faces) of the stones were set. The rest as they say - is history.

Many years ago hundreds of men came together and used ancient levers and wedges to lift the stones upright. It was used as a burial ground and dates thousands of years ago.

It was added to over some 1500 years (people, not Meerkats or aliens built it). See the timeline on the link

Stonehenge was constructed in three phases. It has been estimated that the three phases of the construction required more than thirty million hours of labor.
