Stonehenge II is a replica of the original Stonehenge monument. It can be found on FM 1340 west of Hunt, Texas, USA. The grid reference is Template:Coor dm.
Most of the stones are constructed of an adobe-like material applied to a wire mesh frame. They could be damaged if someone were to try to climb on them. On the other hand, a few of the central stones are real, large, and probably unmovable without heavy equipment.
There are also two replica Moai, or Easter Island heads, at the same site. (Easter Island is also known as Rapa Nui and Isla de Pascua.) The Moai are made of the same material as the Stonehenge II stones.
Visitors should beware the large Texas Fire ants in the area. The mounds are easy to spot as the ants have cleared the vegetation in about a one meter diameter circle around them.
