Famous Landmarks
Stonehenge
As you drive through the swirling mists of the Salisbury plain, the trailers of mist part and you gape incredulously at the glorious tableau. An ancient henge encloses enormous orthostats and colossal trilithons of heathen sarsen and shadowy dolerite. "Stonehengeâ" you breathe in an awed whisper.
"Large rocks stuck in the sod," observes your more prosaic companion, "for no good reason that I can think of. Besides, technically, some would claim Stonehenge isn't even a henge, you know."
So, technically, what's a henge?
Well, it's a round or oval bank with an interior ditch, of course!
