Göbekli Tepe predates Stonehenge by roughly 6,000 years.

Notes on verification

Well-corroborated by multiple independent sources including Smithsonian, History.com, and English Heritage; figure varies slightly (6,000-7,000 years) depending on which Stonehenge construction phase is used as reference point, but ~6,000 years is the most commonly cited and defensible figure.
