Summary

[edit]
Description

The site as of AD 2004. The plan omits the trilithon lintels for clarity. Holes that no longer, or never, contained stones are shown as open circles and stones visible today are shown coloured, grey for sarsen and blue for the imported stone, mainly bluestone.
Key to plan:

  • 1 = The Altar Stone, a six ton monolith of green micaceous sandstone from Scotland
  • 2 = barrow without a burial
  • 3 = "Barrows" (without burials)
  • 4 = The fallen Slaughter Stone, 4.9 metres long
  • 5 = The Heel Stone
  • 6 = Two of originally four Station Stones
  • 7 = Ditch
  • 8 = Inner bank
  • 9 = Outer bank
  • 10 = The Avenue, a parallel pair of ditches and banks leading 3 km to the River Avon
  • 11 = Ring of 30 pits called the Y Holes
  • 12 = Ring of 29 pits called the Z Holes
  • 13 = Circle of 56 pits, known as the Aubrey holes
  • 14 = Smaller southern entrance

This image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Stonehenge plan.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.
