To whose Gods...
The countryside of Britain is scattered with the remains of past lives, societies and cultures, many of which remain a source of mystery and conjecture. We may never know the exact reasons why these prehistoric circles, standing stones, henges and other monuments were erected or the peoples and belief systems that led them to complete some of these sometimes massive structures such as Silbury Hill and Stonehenge. These pages are an ongoing investigation into some of these ancient sites and landscapes with a view to gaining an understanding of the lives of the people who inhabited these islands more than 2000 years ago.
Obviously it is beyond the scope of this website to hope to document every British prehistoric monument - there are estimated there may be as many as 1300 stone circles alone in Britain and Ireland and the number of identified round barrows currently stands at over 10000 while many new rock-art sites are discovered every year. The sites I have included (currently about 500) are simply those that I have visited in England and Wales and cover a fair cross section of the pre-Roman sites in these countries, although the odd Roman remain is featured - I have only just started making inroads into Scotland. There are also several sites which have been included either because their age and purpose is unknown, or they may just be local curiosities. The areas of Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire feature more pages than other regions, not because there are necessarily more ancient sites here but simply because they the closest to where I am based and therefore have received more frequent investigation than sites further afield.
