Can anyone tell me the use of stone hedge?

Answer 1

It is not yet discovered!!!

Answer 2

Stonehenge, is currently believed to have had astronomical uses for the peoples who used it.
In it's time, there have been additions to the original, which is thought to have just been a mound with a ditch around it, ranging from the addition of a wooden ring of posts, to stone's replacing the rotted wood, to even more stone monoliths and then finally, the large stones we see today that are characteristic of the site. The last addition to Stonehenge was believed to have come from the Romans.
One of the interesting things about the older stones, is that they were quarried from Wales and brought there to be used, which is around 250km to travel. Some of the stones weighed about 6 Tons! The journey wouldn't have been across a flat landscape either - just the effort of bringing the stones to the site is an amazing feat in itself!! No-one really knows why they took the trouble to do that, other than the fact the stone used only comes from the area of Wales where they were quarried. Bluestone, which is what they are, must have had some particularly important significance to them. Stonehenge is estimated to have first been constructed, around 3100BC.(around the time the Mayans started their calender)
Something else to ponder upon, perhaps, is the fact that legends suggest that some global cataclysm happened around 3100 BC - Possibly forcing humans around that time to keep an eye on the solar system?

Answer 3

Stone Hedge is now just a site for people to visit. It was built in the early 400's or 500's by the Druids as an area for temple worship. No one knows anything more about it at this point.

Answer 4

The uses of STONEHENGE are not known and will probably never be known. Many archeologists believe, however, that it was for worship of a sun god or as an astronomical clock. The reason for this, is that many of the stones and other properties of the structure align with a number of lunar and solar events. The Avenue for example aligns with the sunrise during the summer solstice... or at least it did when the first phase of construction began.

Answer 5

Lots of people are answering as though you asked the question "Can anyone tell me the use of Stonehenge?"

Maybe that's what you want! But just in case it isn't ...
'Stone hedge' sounds like a wall to me!! So the uses of it - in a hedge-boundary type format - are to keep unwanted animals, pests & people OUT, and / or WANTED animals, or people IN!!

That's why you often find them around prisons and farms ... not to mention people's gardens (yards to Americans...!)
; )

Answer 6

It was built to correspond with several astrological events, like midsummer sun-rise. It is only one of many, many stone circles in Europe, most quite a bit older than Stone-henge. Stone-henge is the most famous because it is the biggest in construction and the size of the stones used for it. It is used for a astrological calendar. The sheer scale of the site may indicate a Royal Project, or something. Like the Cheif's family financed it for it's lengthy construction period. It may have been a Royal Site and used for coronations or stuff like that. That's all conjecture, but we know that it is built to be a sky calendar.

Answer 7

Currently it's a great party site for Midsummer's Eve. Nobody knows what the people who built it used it for, but there are lots of theories, all of them with big holes in them. Unfortunately, to really find out, the site would have to be destroyed and sifted through and even then we probably wouldn't know much more than we do now.

Answer 8

Some ancient people said "hey, let's arrange a bunch of stones here so people in the future will wonder what we were up to."

Answer 9

Currently? Nothing. I think it used to be a calendar (in the stone age.)

Answer 10

It is a Druid ritual site. Mainly used for the summer solstice.

Answer 11

No one knows for sure. Some believe it was a way to keep the date with the sun and shadows.
