 -It begins to give us some insight into how the wider landscape was used at the time that Stonehenge was developing into the monument you see today.Like many of the ceremonial shrines located by the Hidden Landscapes Project, Stonehenge also began its life as a ditch and bank. To be transformed into the iconic monument we know today, required the addition of giant standing stones. The tradition of builing stone monuments in prehistoric Europe dates back about 7,000 years. In the centuries that followed, megalith appeared across the Continent, following the spread of neolithic culture. One of the most impressive displays of ancient standing stones can be seen near the French town of Carnac, where 10,000 menhirs, most of which predates Stonehenge by many centuries, stretch over 6 kilometres.

-The average weight of stones here is between 2 and 4 tons. Bigger blocks, like this one, can reach 20 tons.
