Stonehenge is not primarily classified as a burial mound; it is a prehistoric monument consisting of a ring of standing stones. However, archaeological evidence suggests that the area surrounding Stonehenge contains burial mounds, and some human remains have been found in the vicinity, indicating that it may have had ritual significance related to burial practices. The site's purpose remains a topic of research and debate among historians and archaeologists.
