Guardian Unlimited: Early sketch of Stonehenge found
Manuscript from 1440 C.E. is earliest known sketch of Stonehenge.

The little sketch is a bird’s eye view of the stones, and shows the great trilithons, the biggest stones in the monument, each made of two pillars capped with a third stone lintel, which stand in a horseshoe in the centre of the circle. Only three are now standing, but the drawing, found in Douai, northern France, suggests that in the 15th century four of the original five survived
