Stone circles that are more beautiful than Stonehenge

Stonehenge in the west of England is undoubtedly the king of stone circles - stone monuments originally set out in a way to form a circle or ellipse.
However, it's easy to overlook the dozens of other stone circles which can be found across the British Isles and even as far afield as Israel. We gathered some other stone circles - one of which is underwater - that demonstrate the diversity of neolithic monuments.
