Altar Stone (Stonehenge)
The Altar Stone is a recumbent central megalith at Stonehenge in England, dating to Stonehenge phase 3i, around 2600 BCE. It is identified as Stone 80 in scholarly articles.
Its name probably comes from a comment by Inigo Jones who wrote:
- ‘... whether it might be an Altar or no I leave to the judgment of others’.
