Overview

Stonehenge, the megalithic monument in southern England that dates in its Bronze Age phase to 2000BC, attracts more than a million tourists each year. The region includes the remains of sizeable wooden buildings, and this work shows that it was indeed its own city, the metropolitan centre of a powerful kingdom heretofore unsuspected. That city is reconstructed here from the archaeological evidence - royal palace, banquet hall and tomb, among other buildings. In passing, the text demolishes the popular theory that Stonehenhe served as a prehistoric astronomical observatory. It rather advances a political theory grounded in cultural continuities that carry forward into the early, Iron Age, best documented in ancient Ireland.
