Stonehenge is one of the largest and best known of the megalithic (mega meaning giant, lithic refers to stone, so "giant stone") monuments. The stones were probably set in place between 3000 BCE and 2200 BCE, so the place is at least 4000 years old.
The monument is designed as an astronomical eclipse calculator. Seen from the center, the Sun rises directly above the Heelstone on the summer solstice.
