A new study suggests that Stonehenge once served as a solar calendar.
Research showed the stones were added about 2500BC and remained in the same formation, indicating they worked as a single unit such as a calendar.
Professor Timothy Darvill said the Wiltshire stone circle's layout served as a physical representation of the year.
He said the research indicated "the site was a calendar based on a tropical solar year of 365.25 days".
