Stonehenge

• Stonage (obsolete)

Inherited from Middle English Stonhenge, from ston (“stone”) +‎ henge (“hinge”) or hengen ("hanging", but only attested as "imprisonment"). More at Stonehenge on Wikipedia.Wikipedia

The failure of /ɛnd͡ʒ/ to regularly raise to /ɪnd͡ʒ/, as in hinge, singe < Middle English henge, sengen, is probably due to the influence of the local dialect; compare the forms /ɛnd͡ʒ/, /sɛnd͡ʒ/ "hinge, singe" attested for the early 20th-century dialect of Pewsey, Wiltshire,^[1] approximately 18.5 kilometres (11.5 miles) from Stonehenge.

   • 2025 January 22, Paul Clifton, “New study urges investment in West of England line”, in RAIL, number 1027, pages 6-7:

     Within weeks of winning the General Election in July 2024, the government halted a planned tunnel for the A303 past Stonehenge in Wiltshire. It stated that the £2 billion scheme was "poor value for money". […] The West of England line carries a tiny fraction of the volumes on the parallel road [A303], and Stonehenge is a nationally notorious bottleneck.
