No. Stonehenge is in Wiltshire, England.
The first megaliths were built in what is now western Europe, particularly in regions such as Brittany in France and the British Isles, including sites like Stonehenge and the dolmens of Ireland. These structures date back to the Neolithic period, around 4000 to 2500 BCE, and served various purposes, including ceremonial and burial functions. The construction of megaliths reflects the social and cultural practices of early agricultural societies in these areas.
No, megaliths are not the name of the stones used to build Çatalhöyük. Megaliths refer to large stones used in prehistoric structures and monuments, such as Stonehenge. Çatalhöyük, an ancient settlement in Turkey, was primarily constructed using mudbrick and not megalithic stones.
Stonehenge is in England, not Ireland. It depends what you mean by 'answer', since Stonehenge was built and altered over a periopd of about 1,500 years, with different purposes at different times. Stone circles and other stone monuments were erected in many parts of the Celtic world including Britain, Ireland and northern France.
A megalith is a large stone which has been shaped and set up. Megaliths are used in ancient monuents such as Stonehenge.
