Stonehenge is one of the most important and visited prehistoric
monuments in Britain. What we see today was completed about 3500
years ago. The stones are composed of bluestones from the
Preseli Mountains in southwest Wales. They weigh up to 4 tons
each and were dragged on rollers and floated on rafts on their
240 mile journey. The larger stones are sarsen stones, which
were probably brought from Marlborough Downs near Avebury, about
20 miles north of Stonehenge. The largest stone weighs 50 tons
and would have required 500 men to pull it.
