Stonehenge is a story that stretches over thousands of years. It begins in the Stone Age, continues into the Bronze Age, and probably goes back to the Iron Age.

First pits, into which pine pillars about 75 cm in diameter were inserted, date back to about 8,000 BC. There were four or five of them (one pit may have been a remnant of a tree growing there). Three or four pillars were arranged in an east-west line and were probably used to perform religious rituals. Over time, these pillars decayed and fell apart.
