Best Answer

The oldest parts of Stonehenge are probably the rocks which form the circle, or the air that surrounds it. The rocks would be millions of years old. The air would be even older, but since its composition changed over the lifetime of our planet, this date is less certain.

The stone circle in its present form is thought to be approximately 5000 years old, although the site is said to have been used even earlier.
