The Third Phase
of Development
Circa 2600 -2400 BCE
Archaeological
excavation has indicated that around 2600 BC, the builders abandoned timber in
favour of stone, and dug two concentric arrays of holes (the Q and R Holes) in
the centre of the site. These stone sockets are only partly known (hence on
present evidence are sometimes described as forming ‘crescents’); however, they
could be the remains of a double ring. Again, there is little firm dating
evidence for this phase. The holes held up to 80 standing stones (shown blue on
the plan), only 43 of which can be traced today. The bluestones (some of which
are made of dolerite, an igneous rock), were thought for much of the 20th
century to have been transported by humans from the Preseli
Hills, 160 miles away in modern-day Pembrokeshire in
Wales. Another theory that has recently gained support, is that they were
brought much nearer to the site as glacial erratics
by the
Plan of the
central stone structure today. After Johnson 2008The north-eastern entrance was
widened at this time, with the result that it precisely matched the direction
of the midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset of the period. This phase of the
monument was abandoned unfinished, however; the small standing stones were
apparently removed and the Q and R holes purposefully backfilled. Even so, the
monument appears to have eclipsed the site at Avebury
in importance towards the end of this phase.
A Tertiary
sandstone, may also have been erected outside the north-eastern entrance during
this period. It cannot be accurately dated and may have been installed at any
time during phase 3. At first it was accompanied by a second stone, which is no
longer visible. Two, or possibly three, large portal stones were set up just
inside the north-eastern entrance, of which only one, the fallen Slaughter
Stone 16 ft long, now remains. Other features, loosely dated to phase 3,
include the four Station Stones, two of which stood atop mounds . The mounds
are known as "barrows" although they do not contain burials.
Stonehenge Avenue, a parallel pair of ditches and banks leading 2 miles to the
River Avon, was also added. Two ditches similar to Heelstone
Ditch circling the Heelstone (which was by then
reduced to a single monolith) were later dug around the Station Stones.
30 enormous
Oligocene-Miocene sarsen stones were brought to the
site. They may have come from a quarry, around 25 miles north of
Within this
circle stood five trilithons of dressed sarsen stone arranged in a horseshoe shape 45 ft across
with its open end facing north east. These huge stones, ten uprights and five lintels,
weigh up to 50 tons each. They were linked using complex jointing. They are
arranged symmetrically. The smallest pair of trilithons
were around 20 ft tall, the next pair a little higher and the largest, single trilithon in the south west corner would have been 24 ft
tall. Only one upright from the Great Trilithon still
stands, of which 22 ft is visible and a further 7 ft 10 in is below ground.

Quotes from the Writings of
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 100
It is only by the attractive force of the contrasts
that the two opposites — Spirit and Matter — can be cemented together on
Earth, and, smelted in the fire of self-conscious experience and suffering, find
themselves wedded in Eternity.
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 108
It is the motive, and the motive alone, which makes
any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is
impossible to employ spiritual forces if there is the slightest tinge of
selfishness remaining in the operator .... The powers and forces of animal
nature can equally be used by the selfish and revengeful, as by the unselfish
and the all-forgiving; the powers and forces of spirit lend themselves only to
the perfectly pure in heart — and this is Divine Magic.
Isis Unveiled, Volume 1, Page 36
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 3, Page 14

Head-learning with no Soul-wisdom to illuminate and guide it.

From strength to

and perfection of another, with accessions of new glory, of fresh

becomes its own saviour in each world and incarnation.
