Henges made either of giant stone slabs or wood have been discovered in Britain, Ireland, many parts of continental Europe, and even Russia.

For instance, recent research suggests the Stonehenge was built to unify ancient Britons after a wave of migrants with ancestry in central Europe and the Steppes moved into the British Isles.

Recent studies of the iconic monument’s central stone suggest that it most likely came from Scotland, challenging previous notions that most of its slabs came from Wales.
