Stonehenge is a prehistoric gravestone located in the English county of Wiltshire, 
about 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) west of Amesbury and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Salisbury. One of the most celebrated primeval sites in the world, Stonehenge is unruffled of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists suppose that the standing stones were erected around 2200 BC and the surrounding circular earth bank and trench, which represent the earliest phase of the memorial, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World legacy Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge tombstone, and it is also a officially protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge itself is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage while the surrounding ground is owned by the National Trust.
