Stonehenge is not considered the first sundial, but it is one of the earliest monumental structures that align with solar movements. Archaeological evidence suggests it was used for astronomical observations, including tracking the solstices. True sundials, which use a gnomon to cast a shadow on a marked surface to indicate time, developed later in history, particularly in ancient Greece and Rome. Therefore, while Stonehenge played a role in ancient timekeeping, it is not classified as a sundial.
