The Core Mystery Brief

Britain's most famous prehistoric monument — a ring of standing sarsen stones aligned to the solstices, built over 4,500 years ago.

What We Know

Built in multiple phases over 1,000 years. The smaller bluestones were transported some 240km from the Preseli Hills in Wales.

What Is Debated

The purpose of Stonehenge — astronomical observatory, healing centre, burial ground or ceremonial complex — remains debated.

The Mystery

How were the bluestones transported from Wales, and why?
