Stones were transported from Wales in the time of King Arthur. Druid religious site. The stones apparently align with the stars and give information about the time of year which coincides with holy Druid festivals.

Well, from what i know, im guessing it was kinda like a massive clock :)
At sunset and sun rise, if you stand right in the middle in summer, and you look in a certain direction, you can see the sun - of course over 3000 years its moved, so it doesnt work too well anymore :)
making stonehendge is easy... i wanna see it in real life though

like the pyramids! some great powerful person (sorry don't believe in the alien bit) eons ago wanted to carve (so they looked symetrically the same) and pile stones like that for ritual purposes.
if you're interested in more, read the OUTLANDER, its a VERY GOOD book that is set around that. very good book.

I believe it was some sort of ancient religious building where sacrifices were made to the pagan gods.
