…
But Stonehenge may have been more than a ritual site. Some experts suggest it
was also used as a huge calendar (日历) for watching stars. Outside the entrance
of the construction stands the Heel Stone. On the summer solstice, the longest
day of the year, a person standing at the center of the circle can look out
through the entrance and see the first rays of the rising sun hit the top of the
Heel Stone. At the winter solstice, the year’s shortest day, a person standing
at the entrance can look into the circle and see the setting sun between the
stones of a trilithon, formed by two standing stone posts topped by a stone in
flat position. In this way Stonehenge may have marked the passing seasons.
The position of the stones and holes shows that Stonehenge may also have been
used for watching the moon and stars. The construction may even have been a huge
prehistoric “computer” used to study other natural objects in space. The Stone
Age people in the area were farmers. Perhaps they used Stonehenge to figure out
changes in the weather and to time the planting of their crops.

[A] A way to know when they should plant crops.
