Technically, a henge is actually an oval or circular earthwork, with a surrounding bank built up of the earth excavated from a ditch inside the bank. By this definition, Stonehenge is not truly a henge in any sense, as its ditch lies outside the bank.

There have been many theories as to the intended purpose of Stonehenge and other standing stones. The most likely seems to be, at least in part, that of seasonal calendar, as the sun aligns with particular stones at the solstices. This phenomenon, coupled with the mystery of the henges’ origins, has made the henges into sites of pagan ritual in recent centuries, if not throughout their histories. Some of those ancient rites are rumored to have included ritual sacrifice.

Let Baconhenge be the site of your seasonal celebration! Let bacon stand in for the sacrificed Year King, French toast for the Grain Goddess, the eggs in the frittata for the Cosmic Egg, and the vegetables for the bountiful Earth on which we live.

MMMMM, bacon!!

Not a big fan of either bacon orFrench toast

If you do go to Stonehenge Kaylene, don't go round midsummer as it is closed to the public to stop all the New Age Hippys from doing whatever it is that they want to do there. Was closed went we went, so we just took pics from the road. This American couple came & she was mightily miffed not to be able to get in. I only know they were American cos she kept telling the guard that they had come all the way from America to see Stonehenge (said it at least 5 times that we heard ) & he could surely just let them two in, even though there were about 10/12 people about at the time.

Anyway, it is worth a looksee

OW, I am planning to go on a Traflagar tour of England,Wales,Scotland,Ireland in July 2013 - tour says it visits Stonehenge, so I hope it visits it properly, not just from back on the road.
