How high are the stones used in the construction of Stonehenge in England?
The top of the tallest stone, stone 56 - the surviving stone of the Great Trilithon is 6.8m (22.3 ft) to the tip of the tenon (from todays ground level, which is a little lower than the Neolithic surface). Adding on the height of the now fallen lintel (Stone 156) the Great Trilithon would have stood around 7.4m high (24.3 ft) to the top of the lintel. The other Trilithons are a little smaller, to the top of the lintel carried by stones 53 - 54 is c. 6.55m (21.5 ft) and that carried by stones 51 - 52 is 6.07m (20ft). The Sarsen Circle lintel tops are around 4.85m (15.9 ft) above the present ground surface, the stones themselves averaging 4.1m (13.5 ft) to the lintel base. The worked reused 'Bluestones' of the central 'horseshoe' array are up to 2.6m (8.5 ft) high, those of the Bluestone circle are variously broken and the larger stones (stones 49 and 31) are no more than 1.9m (6.2 ft) high.Beyond the central structure Station Stone 93 (one of an original group of 4 of which 93 is only upright, two are missing, one fallen) stands 1.2m (3.9 ft) high. The fallen Slaughter Stone, at the entrance was one of a pair would have stood some 5m (16.4 ft) high, the surviving fallen stone being 6.5m (21.3 ft) long. The Heelstone, which lies outside the earthwork stands 4.87m high and was also once one of a pair of stones that formed 'gun-sight' like feature straddling the axis of the longest and shortest days of the year (either side of which the mirrored array of stones were set).
