2500BC to 2300BC. Bluestonehenge [Map] is a ring of pits at the termination of the Stonehenge Avenue [Map] at its southern end where it meets the Wiltshire River Avon. Stone chips were discovered. Originally thought to be of the Stonehenge Bluestones they were subsequently found not to be. Bluestonehenge [Map] is not a @@Henge. Radiocarbon dating of antler tools found at the site has provided only an approximate date of 2469 to 2286 BC for the dismantling of the stones.

3850BC. Coneybury Anomaly [Map] is a pit containing a large amount of early Neolithic pottery together with a large quantity of animal bone, and flint tools of both Mesolithic and Neolithic types suggesting a unique cross-cultural feast 12m north-west of Coneybury Henge [Map]. The bones included at least ten cattle, plus several roe deer, two red deer and a pig. The material was radiocarbon dated to 3850BC ±150.

Durrington Walls is also in South England Henges, Stonehenge Neolithic.
2800BC to 2100BC. Durrington Walls was a large Neolithic settlement and later henge enclosure.
Colt Hoare 1812. On the south side of Durrington Walls, is an elevated mound, bearing the appearance of a barrow, No. 122 [Map], in which we dug to the depth of eleven feet, but found no sepulchral marks whatever.
Colt Hoare 1812. From hence, I proceed towards the vale of the river Avon, where, adjoining the public road, We find the interesting remains of a spacious British town or village, called Durrington, or Long Walls. The first name is evidently derived from the Celtic word for, water, and applies to the situation of the adjoining village of Durrington near the river. The site of this ancient settlement is decidedly marked by a circular embankment, partly natural, and partly artificial, which shelters it from the south-west winds: the view it commands in front, is delightful, facing the rich and well wooded vale, and the lofty range of Haradon and adjoining hills. Having been for many years in tillage, its form is much mutilated; but from what remains, it appears to have been of a circular form, and to have had a vallum all around it on the high ground, but not on the east side near the water. We picked up a great deal of pottery within the area of the works.

Ancient British. From a long barrow much degraded by the plough in the parish of N etheravon, and about ½ a mile from the one in the parish of Figheldean. Excavated by Dr. Thurnam, Sept. 21, 1865. Near the east end and about a foot below the surface on the chalk rock were the broken scattered bones of one or perhaps two skeletons from which I picked out the fragments from which this calvarium has been restored, also the lower jaw almost perfect. With these was the cleft fragment of a second skull, and a portion of a small female jaw."
The mound is now very low, flat, and broad, and the ditches indistinct.
It is turfed, and looks as if it had been down to grass for many years.

Colt Hoare 1812. Iter IV. Starting once more From my head quarters at Amesbury, I shall direct my course towards KNIGHTON LONG BARROW [Map], which, from its elevated situation on a high ridge of land, rivals, if not surpasses, ELL BARROW in preminence of prospect, The first object of our attention: near a clump of trees called ROBIN HOOD BALL [Map], is one those ancient circles, which I have before mentioned and described in the Heytesbury Station, p. 80, This, like the generality of them, is placed on an elevated and commanding situation, but has this peculiarity, of having one circle within the other, with an entrance towards the north. We have to regret the great injury these circles have sustained by the plough, as in their original state they must have been highly curious, and are the more remarkable, from representing a double circle.

S.E. and N.W. Opened by Thurnam Sept. 8th, 1864, who found the primary interment, consisting of the bones of a single individual, hot in their natural order, but forming a pile, very little to the east of the centre of the mound. He also found a secondary burial of a skeleton with a "drinking cup."1 The following account is from the M.S. Cat.: — "The primary interment consisted of a skeleton doubled up in the black earth at the base of the barrow, within a space of not more than 1½ft. square. There was reason for thinking that the bones had been separated in part before interment, the head of one tibia being in apposition with the malleolus of the other, though lying side by side. The primary interment in this barrow (which is in sight of Stonehenge) though lying towards the east, was much nearer the centre than usual2, and was only found (after making four distinct excavations) about 55ft. from the east end, the entire length being 150ft. The skeleton was in the usual stratum of dry brown earth, the bones and especially the skull being remarkable for their peculiarly eroded character. Within ljft. to the east of the skeleton was an oblong hole or cist in the chalk rock, 2ft. 9in. (long?) and 1ft. deep, with nothing in it but dry brown earth." The secondary interment was "about a foot below the surface, about 40ft. from the east end of the same barrow; the skeleton was in a moderately contracted posture, with head to N.W. Near the hips a fine drinking cup of red ware much broken, but since restored."
The whole of the central part of this barrow has been carted away, leaving practically only the fringe of the mound. This most regretable destruction seems to have been perpetrated during the last four or five years by the military on the Plain, apparently for the purpose of making a shelter hut. O.M. 54 N W.; A.

In 1966, when the Stonehenge Visitor Centre Car Park was again extended (so that it was by this time four times the size of the original), a series of circular features cut into the chalk bedrock, and set roughly in line, were observed. Excavation was undertaken by Faith Vatcher, at that time the much-respected curator of the Avebury Museum, with her husband Major Lance Vatcher. They discovered that three of the features were substantial pits cut into the ground, while a fourth was the place where a tree had once stood.
"The four pits were all roughly circular, 1.3m to 1.9m in diameter, and 1.3m to 1.5m deep, and appear once to have held substantial posts c.0.75m in diameter. Unlike the Vatcher's pits, Trott's was found to have been re-cut at a much later stage and subsequently deliberately back-filled. Only a few undiagnostic flint flakes and other remains were incorporated into the fill of the pits. However, charcoal from the fills was found to be solely from pine trees. More surprisingly, radiocarbon dates obtained from this charcoal suggest that the pits had been dug between 10,500 and 8,500 years ago. Snail shells and pollen grains preserved in the fill suggest that the pits were cut in woodland. Taken together, the disposition of soil layers within the pits, the pine charcoal, radiocarbon dates and snail shells provide sound evidence that during the Early Mesolithic a group of people erected stout pine posts in the middle of a mature pine and hazel (Boreal) woodland (Cleal et al. 1995, 43-56).

Stonehenge by William Stukeley. In order to have a just notion of this avenue, it is necessary to go to the neighbouring height of Haradon hill [Map], on the other side the river. The largest barrow there, which I call Hara's and which probably gave name to the hill, is in the line of the avenue; the ford of Radfin lying between, as we see in the last Plate. I stood upon this hill May 11. 1724. during the total eclipse of the sun, of which I gave an account in my Itinerarium. Here is a most noble view of the work and country about Stonehenge. Whoever is upon the spot cannot fail of a great pleasure in it; especially if the fun be low, either after rising or before setting. For by that means the barrows, the only ornaments of these plains, become very visible, the ground beyond them being illuminated by the suns flaunting rays. You fee as far as Clay-hill beyond Warminster 20 miles off. You fee the spot of ground on the hill, whereon stands Vespasians camp [Map], where I conjecture the avenue to Stonehenge began, and where there was a facellum, as we conceive. From hence to that spot a valley leads very commodiously to Radfin [Map], where the original ford was.

Woodhenge is also in Stonehenge Bronze Age.
2250BC. Woodhenge [Map] is located 3km east-north-east of Stonehenge consisting of six concentric oval rings of postholes surrounded by a single flat-bottomed ditch 2.4m deep and up to 12m wide and an outer bank, about 10m wide and 1m high. The site has a single entrance at the north-east. At the centre of the rings was a crouched inhumation of a child whose remains were destroyed during the Blitz. Most of the 168 holes were found to have contained posts, some contained standing stones, some of the holes were 2m deep. The ditch has been dated to 2250BC ±250 years. Carbon Dating indicates the site was still in use in 1800BC.
