Phase
3c
The
stone circles were remodeled again. A circle of bluestones was added
just inside the outer trilithon circle, and the inner bluestone oval
was replaced with a bluestone horseshoe. Aside from changes due to disturbance
and decay in the intervening centuries, this is essentially what a visitor
to Stonehenge sees today. However, it should be noted that the modern
British government has also remodeled Stonehenge. The Avenue is no longer
the entrance to Stonehenge. Instead, a single winding path takes visitors
from the modern road to the edge of the outside circle of trilithons
and then around the ditch and bank enclosure. The interior of the site
is now fenced off so that no one can wander within the enclosure.
