The discussion of Stonehenge in England draws on academic research by Dr Rupert Till (University of Huddersfield), particularly his study Songs of the Stones: An Investigation into the Acoustic Culture of Stonehenge. His work examines how the structure of the original monument shaped sound, rhythm and ritual experience.
The sections relating to Stonehenge Aotearoa are based on the monument’s design purpose, astronomical function and long-term on-site observations by Stonehenge Aotearoa / Starlore Ltd, including experiential insights shared by co-founder Kay Leather.
Together, these perspectives offer both research-based understanding and lived experience. This booklet invites you to listen carefully, explore the space, and discover how stone, sky and sound come together in different ways at each site.
