I think you can tell hubby that he's not quite correct.
Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument located near Amesbury in the English county of Wiltshire, about 8
miles (13 km) northwest of Salisbury. It is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones and is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. Archaeologists think the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC although the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of
the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.
The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World
Heritage Sites in 1986 and it is also a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Stonehenge itself is owned and managed by English
Heritage whilst the surrounding downland is owned by the National Trust.
Stonehenge is located at 51°10?43.9?N, 1°49?31.6?W.
