Stonehenge - United Kingdom


       Stonehenge is in United Kingdom. Stonehenge is composed of a circular setting of large standing stones set within earthworks. This Stonehenge Inscription in 1986 (10th Session).
Mike Parker Pearson, leader of the Stonehenge Riverside Project based at Durrington Walls, noted that Stonehenge appears to have been associated with burial from the earliest period of its existence:
Stonehenge was a place of burial from its beginning to its zenith in the mid third millennium B.C. The cremation burial dating to Stonehenge's sarsen stones phase is likely just one of many from this later period of the monument's use and demonstrates that it was still very much a domain of the dead.[6]
