Stonehenge revisited, Washington, USA

Stonehenge is located on a cliff overlooking the Columbia River. A concrete replica of the 4,000-year-old Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, it is a memorial to the men of Klickitat killed in World War I.
Stonehenge was the first memorial to be built to honor servicemen who had died in WW I, and dedicated in July, 1918.
Prominently displayed on the circular structure, a bronze plaque reads: "In memory of soliders and sailors of Klickitat County who gave their lives in defense of their country. This momument is erected in the hope that others inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism which death alone can quench."
In Hill's version of Stoneheng outer circle of 30 pillars measure 16 feet in height while the inner circle of 40 pillars measure only nine feet in height.
