Best Answer

Stonehenge is in a circle because it represents a calendar or cyles of the seasons.

However some argue that it was once the temple of "Apollo." The temple of Apollo was a circular temple of standing stones and was located in Hyperborea. Hyperborea may have been the ancient name for Great Britain.
