Stonehenge és un monument megalític de l'edat del bronze i del neolític situat prop d'Amesbury, a Wiltshire, Gran Bretanya, a uns 13 km al nord-oest de Salisbury.
Està format per quatre cercles concèntrics de pedres. El cercle exterior, de 30 m de diàmetre, està format per grans pedres rectangulars de gres, que originàriament estaven rematades per llindes també de pedra, i avui dia en queden solament quatre al seu lloc. Dintre d'aquesta filera exterior, hi ha un altre cercle de blocs més petits —de gres blavós— el qual tanca una ferradura construïda amb pedres d'arenisca del mateix color, i a l'interior trobem una llosa de gres micàcia coneguda com l'altar. Tot el conjunt està envoltat d'una fossa circular de 104 m de diàmetre. Dintre d'aquest espai, s'alça un bancal en què apareixen 56 fosses conegudes com els forats d'Aubrey. El bancal i la fossa estan tallats per l'avinguda, un passadís processional de 23 m d'ample i de 3 km aproximadament de longitud. Prop es troba la Pedra del Sacrifici. I davant, la Pedra Taló o Heel Stone.
