How do we know what stone henge was used for?

Question

I’ve seen it said that Stonehenge was used for astronomical purposes, but how do we know? The structure was in ruins and there wasn’t even written language back then. Are these just assumptions?

We don’t. What we know is that Stonehenge is very accurate as a calendar. As a result, we suspect that it was a calendar.
