– It was built with Bluestone, Sarson, and Welsh Sandstone. – It was built between 3100 and 1600 BC – The tallest stone is 7.3m high and weighs over 45 tonnes. It is one of the 5 sarsen Trilithons. The sarsen circle was originally composed of 30 uprights (each weighing about 25 tonnes) capped by horizontal lintels (about 7 tonnes). The bluestones, weighing up to 4 tonnes each, came from the Preseli Hills in Wales, some 240km away. An amazing dig at Stonehenge was carried out recently, the program (Time Team) can be watched here…. http://www.channel4.
