The article is devoted to the modulated dimensional-geometric peculiarities of the Stonehenge megalith and continues the theme of our previous publications devoted to such megalithic objects as the “stone ship” Ales Stenar, small circle in Nabta Playa, and the outer “circle of stones” in Clava. By “modulation” we mean the use of a large module in the size of historical structures, quantitatively equal to the simple number of known historical linear measures (the simple number 37 is most often identified). A more detailed justification of the method is given in “Hypothesis of the dimensional-geometric scheme of the Nabta-Playa megalith landscape monument” including connections with the dimensional-geometric features of ancient Egyptian architecture are also shown there.
