The landscape of Britain is scattered with the haunting traces of prehistoric man: the causeway camps and henges of the New Stone Age, the stone circles and standing stones of the Bronze Age and those feats of landscape engineering, the great hill forts of the Iron Age. This volume constitutes a bird's eye journey through prehistoric Britain, with photographs by Jason Hawkes. Janet and Colin Bord people them with the denizens of the past: the myths and legends are decodified, and the archaeological record is combed, to provide an account of how each site was used and to reconstruct the patterns of early man.
