FIRST STAGE
The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork probably built around

3100 BC.
They formed a circle. Archaeologists found cremated human bones, but they were probably from part of a religious ceremony.
After that, the monument didn’t change until 1000 years later.

SECOND STAGE
It started around 2150 BC. About 82 bluestones from the

Preseli mountains in south-west Wales were brought to the site. This journey was nearly 240 miles.
Once there, the stones were set up in the centre to make an incomplete double circle.

THIRD STAGE
It started in 2000 BC. The Sarsen stones that they

used were probably brought from the Marlborough Downs area near Avebury, about 25 miles north of Stonehenge.
These were placed in an outer circle. Inside the circle, there were also five trilithons, that still remain today.

FINAL STAGE
After 1500 BC the bluestones were moved into the horseshoe

and circle that we see today.
Most of the bluestones have been removed or broken.
