Abstract

Was Stonehenge used to predict eclipses? Previous claims have assumed a high degree of sophistication on the part of the builders of Stonehenge, and that the number of Aubrey holes (56) is particularly significant. It may be that neither assumption is justified or necessary, and that if the builders of Stonehenge did predict eclipses, they did it in much simpler ways.
