You've probably heard of Stonehenge, but have you heard of Carterton's Stonehenge Aotearoa?

The original Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument believed to have been built from around 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The stone circle is pointed toward the summer solstice. Researchers believe it was used as an astronomical observatory or religious site.
