Whatever it was used for...it's still fascinating.

Right now it's better than it had been for over 50 years. The garish "visitor center", replete with touristy gift shop, has been banished! The nearby highway still destroys what should be the silence. Some say a proposed tunnel under the site will fix that but others worry the work could wreak destruction. First visit, back in the 60s, there was no fence so you could walk unmolested among the stones. Later that was no longer allowed except for those who came on an escorted package tour. It's best seen when open for the occasional religious observance but you need to be in proper dress and with a recognized group. I haven't been back in some ten years so am not certain of the degree of access currently available.
Location is such that if you're not driving it's just best to book with a day tour, especially one doing the sunrise visit which ensures best access and minimal crowding.

Don't pay any attention to ^^^. He's wrong.
The tunnel has been there for many years, its quiet and peaceful, very pristine.
Go with or without a tour, gift shop is very tasteful, inexpensive, high quality.
Sheep and ravens mingle with the stones and tourists.
What do YOU think it was or represented? A temple? A place of worship? A calendar? A beacon/marker for aliens? None of the above?
Wish I were younger...and had more money. I'd love to see it. And Bora Bora. And visit Ireland and Scotland.
Photoshop, IMO. The two sides of the road don't look like the're in the same area. Also there's an intersecting road in the third picture that doesn't appear in the others.It is quite interesting that CROP CIRCLES show up every year right across from Stonehenge.....and NO ONE sees any human's making them, as you can see the road next to the monument is well traveled, day, and night
