Hengeworld

Recent archaeological discoveries, including the extraordinary wooden post rings at Stanton Drew and others as yet unknown outside academia here lead to a radical interpretation and rediscovery of the meaning of the monuments. In a striking denouement, drawing on new research specially commissioned for this book, Hengeworld follows the story of a man who died violently and was actually buried at Stonehenge.

Michael Pitts is an archaeologist who has excavated at Stonehenge and Avebury. He is co-author with Mark Roberts of the critically acclaimed Fairweather Eden, the story of Boxgrove Man.
