There were three major challenges involved in the building of stonehenge...
1) Selecting and shaping the 'right' stones.
2) Transporting the stones to the Salisbury plain (some came from south Wales).
3) Erecting the stones to acheive the desired monument.

How long did it take to build Stonehenge?
To build the whole of Stonehenge will obviously depend on how many people there was for the task. What we suggested was that, given a great concentration of effort, is the sarsen structures, the biggest bits of Stonehenge, could have been built within a period of three years. We suspect that probably it took longer. There is the opinion that Stonehenge was constructed in sections over a period of time that span as many as 300 to 500 years.
