The Irish will tell you that Merlin stole it from them with his magic. The Druids say it's theirs. But scientists think it's older than either of these. Probably built by neolithic man in the late stone age. It works as an astrological calendar, so it was likely used for determining when to plant and harvest, although it could also have religious overtones. But then, scientists always ascribe 'religious' and 'ceremonial' meanings to anything they don't understand.

We will never know. There are some mysteries of ancient times that are just beyond our grasp to know.

There was a rumor that it was bought pre-fab at Walmart and assembled on-site by local craftsmen. They did it because the sale price was irresistible.
