Aubrey holes are a ring of 56 pits at Stonehenge named after the seventeenth century antiquarian, John Aubrey.

Hawkins argued that the Aubrey Holes were used to keep track of this long time period and could accurately predict the reoccurrence of a lunar eclipse on the same azimuth, that which aligned with the Heel Stone, every 56 years.
