A wealth of visual information on Stonehenge and the Avenue can be found at this site: images, 360° panoramas, aerial video clips, and stages of construction.

Recent radiocarbon dating of three cremation burials indicates that Stonehenge was used as a (royal?) cemetery starting centuries earlier than had previously been thought
Another team has advanced the very different hypothesis that Stonehenge functioned primarily as a destination for ill people who could benefit from healing bluestones and Neolithic medicine . . .

Based on that team's 2008 excavation at Stonehenge, a new date for the bluestone circle has been derived
(also check out the video halfway down the page)
(Optionally, you can read this National Geographic article that covers both hypotheses.)
Here are the requirements for your final paper
