There is evidence that a circle of wooden stakes existed on the Stonehenge site as early as the ninth millennium. Since the earliest known remains from Mesolithic settlement on the islands were left more than a thousand years later (probably by Volsungrs, also known as 'Old Norse'), it is not known whether the people who left those remains came from the same culture that built the wooden circle. The remains of a similar structure from 6000 B.C. has been found in Germany, overlapping with Mesolithic settlement, probably by Volsungrs.
Several cultures throughout Europe built stone circles, calendar rings which indicated when farmers should sow and reap. Similar circles of wood were constructed in North America. But the building of these calendar circles started shortly before 3000 B.C. There is no reason to connect them with the early circles of wood, or to assume that those early circles had astronomical or religious significance. The early circles were probably pillars supporting large round meeting houses.
