No idea why it was constructed.
I don't think it's main purpose was as a burial ground. Lots of people think it was ceremonial because there's a big avenue leading up to it.
I suppose it could have been prehistorys answer to the O2 🤷♀️ |

Yeah all these things are when human began to use symbols and language to organise into larger groups that stayed put and farmed from around 10K years ago. These rocks would help make up stories and rules to follow and are early forms of religion |

Newgrange tomb mound..Ireland..built before Stonehenge..
On winter solstice( today) through a rectangle above the main " door" entrance, the sun aligns and light up the chamber for 7 mins....
That could suggest Stonehenge was for burials,( remains found,many discovered to be from "" Wales""..)..
but aligning with the winter solstice could suggest a calender..as neolithic men where farmers....
The bigger sarson stones came later..from 20 mile away.. |

When you have two Jones's one keeping up with the other easily explains Avebury vs StoneHenge. Gambia would be another nation trying to outdo them, probably had fairy lights on or a London eye type wheel. |

"It may well have started out as one thing and then had its use change over the centuries, as the form appears to have changed  "
I agree..
I'm not sure of the fist use,big mound with wooden poles in a circle..
Then Blue stones a farmers calender, then finally a place of worship and burial ground..
Only Cliff Richard is old enough to know for sure.. |

"The altar stone. 6 ton ..moved 500 miles..wheel not then invented"
The wheel might not have been invented, but many other forms of transport were created long before the wheel. I've not looked at their earliest uses but the point is the wheel is not the be all and end all of transport. It may be land transport perfected but many other forms existed to great efficiency before the wheel.
Boats/rafts, sleds, using logs to roll (proto wheel), simple beasts of burden and rope.
