Answer 11

From recent dating evidence it's looking increasingly likely that the stone monument was built at the dawn of the metal using age. That means it was perhaps the work of the so called Beaker People, sometime shortly after 2,500 BC. It was not a place of sacrifice, nor was it the work of the 'druids'. There were Neolithic cremation burials on the site, but almost all deposited before the stones arrived, which is confusing people into thinking that Stonehenge itself was a funerary structure. However we can get some idea of the mindset behind its design - if not it's 'function'.

The people who built Stonehenge used simple but ingenious geometry to lay out the site to a carefully premeditated plan. The stones were largely prefabricated to conform to that plan. It was not a 'calendar', nor was it used for predicting eclipse's - it was a monumental piece of sacred architecture whose mirrored symmetrical design was set astride the axis of the longest and shortest days of the year.
