A step back into the past
On the high moors and mysterious islands and in the remote valleys of Britain and Ireland stand impressive prehistoric stones - some in dramatic isolation, others in circles like Stonehenge and Avebury - which have perplexed travellers, scholars, artists and enthusiasts for more than four centuries. Archaeologist Evan Hadingham presents for the first time in book form an entertaining and highly readable account of recent new theories about the purpose of these monuments, relating this fascinating discussion to the latest archaeological findings. He also gives an interesting review of the folklore and superstitions which still cling to the stones today.
