Foamhenge is a replica of Stonehenge made for the UK Channel 5 TV program "Stonehenge Live" broadcast in June 2005. The replica stones, made from a combination of carpet tubes, polystyrene and filler, were accurately located using RTK GPS by archaeologists from Wessex Archaeology on a site on Stockton Down some 10 miles SW of the original. The replica was used for a series of experiments designed to explore the origins and possible uses of the ancient monument.

A full-size replica of Stonehenge made out of foam (also called Foamhenge) stands near Natural Bridge, Virginia.
