Heelstone Statue Sculpture, Stonehenge

Arrival of the Celts in Britain around the eighth century B.C. was
previously an event shrouded in mystery and myth. There was no direct
physical evidence of invasion or even of immigration, but it had long
been believed Celtic arrival in the British Isles was part of the
north and west expansion of these Iron Age people. As artifacts began
to be found, there seemed to be a common Celtic artistic style across
Europe, with characteristic curving lines and the mingling of human
and animal forms. Their Heelstone Statue Sculpture at Stonehenge

Is this the date for Stonehenge? I would have thought it was older,
specially for the heel stone.

One of them, Stonehenge was built and remodeled many times, from
approximately 9,500 years ago (date of its Mesolithic post pits), to
the present paths and roadways there.

I would have thought it was older, specially for the heel stone.

The sculpting of Heelstone (presently in Stonehole 96) occurred within
such timeframe (9,500 years ago - present), quartz hydration dating
approximately 2,800 years ago.
