The People

The specific group responsible for the making of Stonehenge is unknown. They were hunter-gatherers who came from Europe to England by crossing a land bridge around 10000 BC. The land bridge was severed around 8000 BC. When farming came around in the fourth millenium, their populations grew and they formed organized farming communities. There were many invasions of Britain during this period, so the background of these people is varied. The Druids now use Stonehenge for religious purposes. Most of their background has been fabricated, but they still have a traditional celebration at Stonehenge during the mid-summer's solstice.
