Think I saw it but it was tiny

They move it back from the 303 every year, it should be invisible to the naked eye by 2032.

Yes it's very visible, surely you saw it katy? young female eyes are renowned for their accuracy!

It does get moved 1.5 meters every 5 years. My dad took me when I was a teen and you could park up just off the a303 and it was a 20 second walk.

We went there just after covid, when some restrictions were still in place.
I recollect seeing the stones when driving on the A303.
What I noticed was the region was the terrain was very flat and it felt quite eerie.

It's easy to tell when you are passing Stonehenge on the A303 because everyone seems to slow down to 15mph and gawp out of the window at it

OK Nigel.

Is this some kind of joke thread? Yes, you can see it very clearly from the A303.

sshh you will upset the charva

Jim99 · 27 Jul 2025 at 20:57

it's possible you saw a dry stone wall

Oh, and also I learnt from a podcast recently. Stonehenge and the Pyramids in Egypt were built around the same time; 3000BC. I wonder if there is something in that?

Common theory is that Stonehenge is ~500y older than the oldest Egyptian pyramid, or at least construction was started that far back - digging out the ditches and laying the raised banks.

They have just used a crane mate, far easier.

Made by the same slaves and brought back to UK.

Oh, then the expert on the podcast was wrong!

Don't know, but Egypt's oldest known pyramid, the Pyramid of Djosser, was constructed c. 2650BC.

Will Gill · 27 Jul 2025 at 21:13

Was it built and never returned to?

jaybee · 27 Jul 2025 at 21:15

303? Did you mean the 313?
