Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the county of Wiltshire in England,

Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world
and is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones.

and the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch,
which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.
