Aubrey holes

Plan of Stonehenge 1 with the Aubrey holes shown as white circles. After Cleal et al.
A white disc marks the location of Aubrey hole number 21 on the western side of the southern entrance to Stonehenge. The monument's encircling bank and ditch are visible behind it.

The Aubrey holes are a ring of fifty-six (56) Chalk pits at Stonehenge, named after the seventeenth-century antiquarian John Aubrey. They date to the earliest phases of Stonehenge in the late fourth and early third millennium BC. Despite decades of argument and analysis, their purpose is still unknown although an astronomical role has often been suggested.
