From the Publisher
Praised by THE ARCHAEOLOGIST as "a very readable and stimulating review," the author’s ground-breaking study of 1998 is here brought up to date in the light of the latest archaeological evidence.
The author shows how Stonehenge can help us to understand the Neolithic and Bronze Age timber circles of Britain and Ireland and how these timber circles aid our understanding of Stonehenge. He attempts their reconstruction, discusses their possible usages and functions, and describes how rituals may have changed through time. The relationship of timber circles with henges and stone circles is also explored.
