Abstract
Most people visualize Stonehenge as the present structure of massive stones. Between the sarsen circle and inner horseshoe was another stone circle of blue stones, and within the sarsen horseshoe was another horseshoe, also of mainly dolerite bluestones. From the density of monuments around it and the long time over which they were built, one can tell that for its builders and adapters Stonehenge stood in an area of great significance. English Heritage can draw on the advice of two specialist committees, including its Ancient Monuments Advisory Committee as well as on its own professional, technical and scientific staff. The functions of English Heritage are extremely wide. It has direct responsibility for the management of some 400 national monuments, including Stonehenge. Since Stonehenge came into public ownership in 1919, much has been done to secure the fabric of the monument. Stones which have fallen in historic times have been re-erected and set in concrete.
