Stonehenge was a multipurpose site, mainly used to track the seasons to anticipate the best times of the year for planting crops, as well as hunting.
The people who originally created it were semi-nomadic farmers who lived in the Neolithic age, and due to the scarcity of resources, even though they had livestock they did have to rely on hunting sometimes, as well as be very careful as to when they could plant their crops to ensure maximum harvest. Surely this held spiritual significance as well, since many traditional religions are closely related to the daily lives of the people who followed them.
Really, the answer is totally rooted in reality, but that doesn't take away how impressive and interesting it is.

Stonehenge is an interesting place. Mr. Kreepy has done his homework. I live in St. Louis and at the Cahokia Mounds site (Cahokia- native mississippi river valley culture of native americans) they have woodhenge and they used it for the same purposes. As calanders for seasons and when to do rituals for a good flood, or when hunting season started. In fact ancient Celts did not have a set day calander like later christians did. Celts used the sun as a measurement tool as well as surrounding nature to tell when to hold festivals and when to harvest or plant.

You are mostly correct CelticSeeker, though if I may correct you...
The Celts were not the ones that originally built Stonehenge. In fact, the ones that built it were a different culture, now called by anthropologists by the name Windmill Hill People, that was assimilated into Celtic culture when the Celts crossed the sea from the Iberian Peninsula. The Celts later rebuilt it many times, and adopted it for their own purposes.

I've heard that Celtic druids conducted rituals and sacrifices within the confines of Stone Henge. Is there any truth to those claims?

Yes. Like I said, the Celts later used Stonehenge for their own purposes after coming in contact with the Windmill Hill culture. But by no means were they the ones that built it for those purposes. In fact, evidence suggests that the Windmill Hill people used the site mainly for practical, non-religious purposes, but the Celts used it primarily for spiritual reasons.
-
Ahh. I see. Now I know that this is a little off topic, but were interactions between the Windmill Hill people and the arriving Celts primarily hostile? Or was the assimilation of the former into Celtic society a largely peaceful affair? Thanks.
-
A little of both, I think.
There is evidence that they were hostile toward each other on several occasions, but there's also evidence that they did peacefully interact as well.
