Description
"Britain's leading expert on stone circles turns his attention to the greatest of them all - Stonehenge. Drawing on forty years of research, archaeologist Aubrey Burl offers a seminal new view of the changing cults and evolving architecture of this world famous site." "Every aspect of Stonehenge is reconsidered in this groundbreaking volume. Burl explains for the first time how the outlying Heel Stone long predates the site itself, serving as a trackway marker in the prehistoric Harroway. He uncovers new evidence that the Welsh bluestones were brought to Stonehenge by glaciation rather than by man. And he reveals just how far the design of Stonehenge was influenced by Breton styles and by Breton cults of the dead."--BOOK JACKET.
