===After the monument (1600 BC on)=== {{main|Y and Z Holes}} The Y and Z Holes are the last known construction at Stonehenge, built about 1600 BC, and the last usage of it was probably during the [[Iron Age]]. [[Roman coins]] and [[medieval]] artefacts have all been found in or around the monument but it is unknown whether the monument was in continuous use throughout [[British prehistory]] and beyond, or exactly how it would have been used. Notable is the massive Iron Age [[hillfort]] known as [[Vespasian's Camp]] (despite its name, not a Roman site) built alongside the Avenue near the Avon. A decapitated seventh-century [[Anglo-Saxons|Saxon]] man was excavated from Stonehenge in 1923.<ref>[http://www.stonepages.com/news/archives/000109.html "Skeleton unearthed at Stonehenge was decapitated"] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100630102958/http://www.stonepages.com/news/archives/000109.html|date=30 June 2010 }}, BBC News (9 June 2000), ABCE News (13 June 2000), Fox News (14 June 2000), ''New Scientist'' (17 June 2000), Archeo News (2 July 2000)</ref> The site was known to scholars during the [[Middle Ages]] and since then it has been studied and adopted by numerous groups.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Research on Stonehenge |url=https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/stonehenge/history-and-stories/history/research/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |website=English Heritage}}</ref>
