Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first stones were erected in 2400–2200 BC, another theory suggests that bluestones may have been erected at the site as early as 3000 BC.

Stonehenge Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that Stonehenge could possibly have served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains found on the site indicate that deposits contain human bone material from as early as 3000 BC, when the initial ditch and bank were first dug. Such deposits continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years.
