Neolithic monuments

Neolithic monuments are structures built during the Neolithic period, roughly 10,000 to 4,500 years ago, when humans began farming and settling in one place. These sites often include stone circles, burial tombs, and hearths, reflecting the social and spiritual practices of early communities. Notable examples are Stonehenge in England and Newgrange in Ireland. These monuments served various purposes, such as religious ceremonies, astronomical observations, or as communal gathering places, showcasing the advancement of early human societies and their connection to both the landscape and each other.
