~ 2600 BC, Q and R Holes
Although often described as a double ring there is no evidence for this that I could find other than by an assumption from the arc. There is some evidence that it was not a double ring in the absence of holes as shown in Figures 10.1 and 10.2. of the site referenced below. In 'Stonehenge, Exploring the Greatest Stone Age Mystery' by Mike Parker Pearson 2012 (a good read and well worth buying) it is described as an arc. Any information on this would be very gratefully received by the author of this post.
It is very noticeable that the arc shows a particular interest in the East as per the sunrises progression and being built of stone forms a more permanent and stable structure.
Further information and diagrams of this can be found in section 10 of -
