Best Answer

All of the stones in Stonehenge were related to solar and astronomical phenomena. It probably gave dates for planting crops as well as served for predicting eclipses. Today it is mainly used when the sun comes to a particular place at summer solstice. We have better ways to decide when to plant crops.
