The History of Stonehenge
After Stonehenge is built, workers abandon the nearby village at Darington Walls. But 200 years later, a new project starts on the site of the settlement. Thousands more hours are spent constructing a ditch and bank to encircle the village. Some of its houses are even covered over and well-preserved by the earthwork. It's possible that the additional stones brought to the site have a prior history. They may be recycled from another sacred place. Perhaps, this is why it is worth the effort of bringing them so far.
