Key things

Stonehenge is a group of giant prehistoric rocks standing together in a circle. It was

constructed around the year 3000 BC. Its purpose is unknown, although there is proof it
served as a burial ground. It is located in England and is a British cultural icon. Some of the
rocks of Stonehenge are originally from Wales which means that they had to be moved 300
km. Scientists are unsure how this could be possible and so through time many theories and
legends about the construction came to be. One of these legends connects closely to the
legend of king Arthur and the wizard Merlin.
