Why was Stonehenge built in a circle?
Because the prehistoric surveyors were very good at rope and peg methods of laying out. A circle is easy, the next easiest shape is a hexagon ( and there are 30 uprights in the circle so you can see where that's coming from). A circle is what they wanted but it also included a massive 'horseshoe' shaped array of 10 lintel-topped stones. In fact Stonehenge was laid out entirely using 'circles and arcs'.
