Vandalism
The date of Stonehenge is not "uncited garbage". It's an important part of the article, how old it is. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 20:55, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

== Vandalism ==
I've just put a vandalism notice on this. The original editor (who included most of the questionable claims) was subsequently banned for "prank edits", and a quick bit of research leads me to question the following, although I haven't done thorough research to be sure:
* The Stonehenge stones are made of sandstone or bluestone, so the heel stone is not likely to be quartz.
* According to one source, the heel stone is the only "naturally shaped sarsen", which seems to rule out it being polished to a mirror surface.
* "Sarsen", rather than being the name of a particular stone, is the type of stone (sandstone) used.
* One source said that "Stonehenge" meant "hanging stones", so the reference to "hinge" is probably incorrect.
* I couldn't quickly find any reference to a proposed demolition for a runway extension.
* I suspect that the reference to the druids is inaccurate, if only in that I don't think their use of the site has been continuous; rather it is something that has been restarted in modern times.
