==summary==
The fame of the prehistoric monument of [[Stonehenge]] has led to numerous efforts to recreate it, using a variety of different materials, around the world. Some have been carefully built as [[astronomy|astronomically]]-aligned models whilst others have been examples of [[art]]istic expression and/or [[tourist attraction]]s. This '''list of Stonehenge replicas and derivatives''' seeks to collect all the non-ephemeral examples together.

There is a full-size replica of Stonehenge as it would have been before decay at [[Maryhill, Washington|Maryhill]] in [[Washington|Washington State]], built by [[Samuel Hill|Sam Hill]] as a war memorial. It is even aligned to the midsummer sunrise, but to the true position of the sun at the virtual horizon, rather than the apparent position of the sun at the actual landscape horizon.

[[Stonehenge Aotearoa]] in the [[Wairarapa]] region of [[New Zealand]] is a modern adaption aligned with the astronomy seen from the [[Antipodes]], it was built by the [http://www.astronomynz.org.nz/stonehenge/stonehenge.htm Phoenix Astronomical Society] from wood and sprayed concrete.

[[Carhenge]] was constructed from vintage American cars near [[Alliance, Nebraska]] by the artist Jim Reynolds in 1987. A full-size [http://www.strohhenge.de Strawhenge] was assembled in [[Kemnath]] in [[Bavaria]] in 2003 from 350 bales of straw and used as a music venue. [http://www.belluzfarms.on.ca/category/25 Another Strawhenge] is in Ontario whilst a [http://www.lvtv.com/thirdivan/burningman96/pages/Bm-019_jpg.htm Mudhenge] was erected for the 1996 [[Burning Man]] Festival.

Another replica, called [[Stonehenge II]], in [[Texas]] is constructed from an adobe-like material. The [[University of Missouri]] at [[Rolla, Missouri|Rolla]] has a half-scale replica located on campus, [http://web.umr.edu/~stonehen/ UMR Stonehenge] is built from solid [[granite]].
Tankhenge existed in the border zone of [[Berlin]] in the early 1990s after the collapse of the [[Berlin Wall|Wall]]. Tankhenge was constructed from three ex-Soviet armoured personnel carriers.
A full-size Stonehenge made out of [[foam]] — and inevitably called [[Foamhenge]] — stands near [[Natural Bridge, Virginia]] [http://www.tackytreasures.com/tackyhtml/places-foamhenge.html] whilst a [[polystyrene]] version was built by British television station [[Five (TV)|Channel 5]] in 2005 as the centrepiece for a programme on the original monument.
The rock band [[Black Sabbath|Black Sabbath]] featured a Stonehenge stage set for the 1983-1984 Born Again tour that ended up being too large to fit in most venues. When bassist Geezer Butler was initially asked by the stage designer how he visualised the Stonehenge set, Butler responded, "Life size, of course." This was ridiculed in the movie ''[[Spinal Tap (band)|This is Spinal Tap]]'', when the band orders a Stonehenge set but it arrives in miniature due to a confusion between feet and inches.
In 1995, Graeme Caims of Hamilton, New Zealand, built a replica of Stonehenge out of 41 refrigerators.
In [[New York City]], due to the street grid's skew of about 28.9° and the strict grid plan on most of the [[Manhattan]] isle, the sunset is aligned with the street grid lines in May and July, as well as the sunrise in December and January. This phenomenon is known as ''[[Manhattanhenge]]''.
==Derivative names for other sites==
Aside from modern replicas, several other [[archaeological site]]s have had Stonehenge's name partially or fully incorporated into their own names. [[America's Stonehenge]] is an unusual and controversial site in [[New Hampshire]]. A henge near Stonehenge containing concentric rings of postholes for standing timbers, discovered in 1922, was named [[Woodhenge]] by its excavators because of similarities with Stonehenge. The name Woodhenge is also used for the American site of [[Cahokia]]. The timber [[Seahenge]] in [[Norfolk]] was named as such by journalists writing about its discovery in [[1998]].
In November 2004, a 7 m diameter circle of [[posthole]]s was found in Russia and publicised as the Russian Stonehenge. Other prehistoric sites elsewhere, often also with proposed astronomical alignments, are often described by journalists as being that region's '"answer to Stonehenge".
