    возведённый

    Стонхендж состоит из трёх возведённых сооружений.

    Does the underlined word mean "elevated/raised"?

    Нет, построенных, сооруженных (built). Так обычно говорят о высотных зданиях, башнях, помятниках.

    that's a more formal way of saying "строить" (construct/build - which are more technical),
    it makes sense that they used the word возводить for Stonehendge as it's not a technical modern structure.

    it's quite typical to use this word of religious buildings too, or any landmark of particular importance (Pyramides, a cathedral, etc.).
    but it would be ridiculous to use it for an ordinary house (возводить is a more sophisticated word)

    what would the English equivalent be?

    'erected'? probably this one fits.

    Thank you!

    What about сооружение? Does it mean "construction"?

    It closely means structure.
