Stonehenge consists of a number of stone circles, which are surrounded by a ditch and a bank. The solitary Heel stone stands outside the ditch and bank. The first circle inside the bank consisted of 56 holes, the Aubrey holes, named after their discoverer John Aubrey. The next circle consisted of a ring of vertical stones, so-called sarsen stone. Inside stood a ring of 60 bluestones and at the centre stands a stone circle in the shape of a horseshoe. Many stones such as the slaughter and altar stone have fallen down, but maybe they will be restored to their former glory one day.
