* 2005 Stonehenge II, a scaled replica of the famous British attraction, is featured in the book " Weird Texas.

Stonehenge II was conceived by Al Shepperd and built with the help of his friend and neighbor, Doug Hill.

Originally located on FM 1340 west of Hunt, Texas, Stonehenge II now resides on the campus of the Hill Country Arts Foundation in Ingram, Texas ( 78025 ).

These imitation Moai are made of the same material as the Stonehenge II stones.

Before Stonehenge II could be moved to Ingram, the Hill Country Arts Foundation started a ' Save Stonehenge II ' campaign to raise the necessary funds to cover the costs of moving, repairing, and rebuilding this great monument.

In the summer of 2010, the late Al Shepperd began searching for a new home for Stonehenge II after putting his land in Hunt, Texas up for sale.

Future plans for Stonehenge II include the addition of a dance floor, benches, and side walks to the site.

Stonehenge II was featured as a backdrop for a scene in an early episode of the critically acclaimed NBC TV series Friday Night Lights ( Episode 19: " Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes ").

The hotly debated plan for the capital's Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, a circle of huge tablets engraved with his speeches ( and promptly dubbed by one of its critics, `` Instant Stonehenge '' ), is another of Udall's headaches, since as supervisor of the National Parks Commission he will share in the responsibility for building it.

If this etymology is combined with the tradition reported by Geoffrey of Monmouth stating that Ambrosius Aurelianus ordered the building of Stonehenge – which is located within the parish of Amesbury ( and where Ambrosius was supposedly buried ) – and with the presence of an Iron Age hill fort also in that parish, then it may be tempting to connect Ambrosius with Amesbury.

The complex including Maeshowe, the Ring of Brodgar, the Standing Stones of Stenness, Skara Brae, as well as other tombs and standing stones represents a concentration of Neolithic sites that is rivalled in Britain only by the complexes associated with Stonehenge and Avebury.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about west of Amesbury and north of Salisbury.

One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of a circular setting of large standing stones set within earthworks.

Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

As often happens in archaeological terminology, this is a holdover from antiquarian usage, and Stonehenge is not truly a henge site as its bank is inside its ditch.

Despite being contemporary with true Neolithic henges and stone circles, Stonehenge is in many ways atypical – for example, at over tall, its extant trilithons supporting lintels held in place with mortise and tenon joints, make it unique.

Stonehenge is therefore interpreted as functioning as an enclosed cremation cemetery at this time, the earliest known cremation cemetery in the British Isles.

There is little or no direct evidence for the construction techniques used by the Stonehenge builders.

This is the oldest known depiction of Stonehenge.

After the Battle of the Beanfield in 1985 this use of the site was stopped for several years, and currently ritual use of Stonehenge is carefully controlled.

The new discovery is part of the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project which began in the summer of 2010.
