People who discuss Stonehenge today always view it as a megalithic monument.

Yes, in any case, since they built such a large structure with such large stones in the Neolithic Age, it must be considered a megalithic monument. 

However, at this point, what we need to think about is whether the people who built and operated it in that form that we see were also thinking that way. 

In other words, who erected the huge stones and built it in that form as a temple and performed various ceremonies there is a completely separate issue. 

So what is the huge stone structure of Stonehenge that we see now?
 



Originally a huge burial mound for communal burials and various rituals in the Neolithic Age, the earthen mound has completely disappeared, leaving only the burial chamber! 

This is evident when we look at other megalithic monuments built at the same time as Stonehenge. 

This is especially evident when we compare the structures of the so-called passage tombs that remain in Ireland. 

Stonehenge is a stone monument, but that stone structure is nothing more than a burial chamber left over from the loss of a large mound of earth.
