Were did the rocks for Stonehenge come from?
Supposedly Ireland. Merlin the magician is supposed to have lifted them up with his magical wand and carried them to the boats where Sir Kay and his knights shipped them back to England to build a monument for those who had fallen in the great battle of Badon.
Of course this is a myth. The stones probably came from another location, or perhaps they were carved there.

What purpose was Stonehenge built for?
It's not an easy question to answer, not directly that is. What is for sure is that our interpretations of its 'purpose' are very likely to be wrong, for example there is not scrap of archaeological evidence that Stonehenge ever functioned as 'an observatory' that is a modern myth. That said it has an axis of alignment fixed on the shortest and longest days of the year (the winter and summer solstices). If we are to get near to understanding its purpose we need to know what went into its design, and that can be answered.
If we look closely we see a geometrically accurate piece of architecture, one that is designed precisely around mirrored symmetry (set either side of the axis). 'Astronomical' events tend not to be 'symmetrical' when translated into features and the ground, and such alignments that exist are to be found between the stones themselves , not to distant objects or sight lines. In short Stonehenge was designed on a drawing board, largely prefabricated, and somehow reflects a prehistoric cosmology, a religion - that was concerned with harmonious mirrored symmetry.
What is Stonehenge famous for?
