Actually people DID NOT have a lot of time on their hands.
Getting food was a full time job.
-Removed-"Built in several stages, Stonehenge began about 5,000 years ago as a simple earthwork enclosure where prehistoric people buried their cremated dead. The stone circle was erected in the centre of the monument in the late Neolithic period, around 2500 BC.
Two types of stone are used at Stonehenge: the larger sarsens, and the smaller bluestones. There are 83 stones in total."

@chaney3 saidI've been there, twice. Once when one could still get up close and touch the stones, and there was hardly anyone else there. Then again later after fences had been erected. It's a disappointment now that you can't get close and hoards of visitors are milling around.
Who has visited Stonehenge?
There seem to be a lot of people on this site that are close to it.
What did you think?
I found Avebury more impressive.
