It is only during the next major phase of activity, 2600 BC to 2400 BC, that 30 enormous Oligocene-Miocene Sarsen stones (where Stonehenge is so famous for) were brought to the site. They likely came from a quarry around 19 miles (30.4 kilometres) north of Stonehenge on the Marlborough Downs. The stones were dressed and fashioned with mortise and tenon joints before 30 were erected as a 108 feet (33 metres) diameter circle of standing stones, with a ring of 30 lintel stones resting on top. Within this circle five trilithons of dressed Sarsen stones were erected in a horseshoe shape 45 feet (13.7 metres) across, with its open end facing north east. These huge stones, ten uprights and five lintels, weigh up to 50 tons each. In a later stage the bluestones were re-erected and rearranged in a circle between the two rings of Sarsens and in an oval at the centre of the inner ring.208

Analysis of animal teeth found 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) away at Durrington Walls, thought by Parker Pearson to be the ‘builders camp’, suggests that, during some period between 2600 and 2400 BC, as many as 4,000 people gathered at the site for the midwinter and midsummer festivals.209

John Michell

Besides the St Mary’s Chapel in Glastonbury, John Michell was, like so many others, fascinated by Stonehenge. Although 39 miles (62 kilometres) apart, there is an interesting and enigmatic connection between the St Mary’s Chapel and Stonehenge. A blueprint of the former Abbey in Glastonbury shows that the St Mary's Chapel is not 100% in line with the rest of the buildings. It is connected to the rest of the building under a slight angle.
