Document Summary
Looking a phase 3 of stonehenge at 2000bc there are 2 phases. Phase 3b-blue stones (are little ones from stonehenge 2) arranged in circle and one imitated the trilithons - purpose is not known to stonehenge there are additional holes in the ground and they may be for astronomical markers/observations. Final phase blue stones were rearranged in horse shoe patterns. Many more were put up in a circle shape. There are additional holes in the ground and they may be for astronomical markers/observations (in loose circles). Trilithons put up first (no way to do it after inner ring was made) Circle first marked out with ox hide rope 160 ft. long - megalithic yard 2. 72ft 59 megalithic yards number wasn"t rounded so we assume this was done purposely. Sarsens inner trilithons similar techniques were used on eastern island to stand them up.
