Dear Commons Community,

This afternoon, Elaine and I took a bus trip to see Stonehenge in Wiltshire.   Stonehenge, meaning “hanging stones”, is the name for the ruins of a site built 4000-5000 years ago (Neolithic Age) by a people who have never been conclusively identified other than that they settled in the area and were farmers and herders.  It is generally believed that the circle of stones was used in burial and other ceremonial rituals.  A recreated village from the period adds to the experience of walking the area.
