How Merlin Built Stonehenge Merlin was asked by Aurelius, one of King Constantine’s sons, to build a monument in honor of the people who fought to defend the country. He told Aurelius that there were some stones in Ireland that would be perfect. A giant who wanted to build a magic circle of gigantic stones brought them there. Merlin said these stones would heal anyone who bathed in water touched by them. Then Merlin cast a spell to make the rocks as light as pebbles and then they carried them with ease onto the boats. The stones were to have been placed on the Salisbury Plain in the South of England. You can still see them today. Note: Sorry to wreck your dreams, but it is known for a fact that Stonehenge was built much earlier than Merlin’s time period. The possibility he added to them is still open, however.
