What type of rock is Stonehenge made of? Quick Answer. Although at least 20 types of rocks have been identified at the site, Stonehenge is made from two primary types of stone: sarsen sandstone and bluestone, with the stones forming the external wall of the circle in Stonehenge being made from the former.
There is very little theory now regarding the formation of Stonehenge. It is man made. The larger sarsen stones (vertical) were transported from north Wiltshire (some tens of miles). The smaller bluestones (horizontal) were transported by land and sea from west Wales.
