Stonehenge, located in the English county of Wiltshire, is a prehistoric monument consisting of a ring of upright stones, called menhirs, topped with horizontal capstones, the lintels. The construction of this iconic structure took place in several stages, starting around 3100 BC and continuing until around 1600 BC. The famous circle of large sandstones, the sarsens, was placed between 2600 and 2400 BC. The surrounding circular earthen wall and moat, the earliest phase of the monument, date from around 3100 BC. Although the exact function of Stonehenge remains uncertain, archaeological finds and astronomical alignments suggest that it was a ceremonial site, possibly related to funerals, religious rituals or the observation of celestial phenomena, such as the solstices.
