Where Is Stonehenge Located?

Stonehenge is an astounding circular stone formation built on the Salisbury Plain in southern England. Scientists believe Stonehenge was constructed around 3100 BCE during the Neolithic period by primitive stone-age people of the area. Another incredible fact about this UNESCO World Heritage Site, is that it took those ancient people over 1500 years to construct!

Also found at Stonehenge are primitive graves called barrows. These have led to fascinating theories that the site represents the prehistoric builders’ mystical relationship with the moon and was in fact a place to make sacrifices and offerings to the gods.
