Though it is not clear from the Latin writings that the Druids were actually using Stonehenge, the Romans seemed to think they were, and it is possible that it was the Romans who were responsible for some of the damage to it during the Roman purge of Druids in AD 61.

 

 

We were there for the Darvill and Wainwright dig:

 

 

 

 

Opinion is certainly divided!

 

Archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson of the riverside project speculates “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”

 

Archaeologists Professors Tim Darvill and Geoff Wainwright theorise: that Stonehenge is an ancient place of healing.

 

Other People have put forward over the years such diverse ideas that it is a temple to Earth Sun and Moon, a great calendar, a landing place for UFO’s, a portal to other realms.

 

There are many theories.

 

One thing is for certain. Stonehenge is a work of creative genius, the most inspirational and mysterious of all megalithic monuments and of huge significance in the hearts and minds of people today who seek understanding.

 

Maybe it was a place of burial, a sacred temple to life, death and rebirth, a great calendar of the solar and lunar phases, a great meeting place and a place of healing. With the effort required to build it and the genius of its people, why not all of these things?
