Report: Bone, id as 3 articulated cattle vertebrae, from ditch L-Q (C42, S54; S62, 834, 854) at Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England. Subm 1995[?]. Comment (M J Allen): from very early in Phase 2, representing secondary fills of ditch and construction of timber structures. This deposit and that of OxA-5981 both retained tendons and sinew on deposition and so cannot be considered as residual. This date overlaps range of high precision dates for Phase I ditch-digging.

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.

Coneybury Henge is also in South England Henges, .
Coneybury Henge [Map] is 14km south-east of Stonehenge - they are inter-visible. It has a north-east entrance, an internal circle of postholes, and fragments of bone and pottery. It is now almost completely flattened; it was identified by geophysical survey.

Europe, British Isles, South-West England, Wiltshire, Stonehenge Landscape, Stonehenge Monuments and Burials, Woodhenge [Map]
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.
