Station Stones - Stonehenge

The Station Stones are four sarsen stones erected at Stonehenge during its second or third phase, around 2640-2480 BCE, forming the corners of a precise rectangle straddling the inner stone circle. Only two of the original four stones survive today. Two stood on earth mounds called the North and South barrows, though these never contained burials. The rectangular alignment mirrors the monument's solstitial axis and may also mark lunar alignments, making these stones significant for understanding the astronomical planning of Stonehenge.
