Stonehenge, by The Late RJC Atkinson
"A full and clear account for the general reader of what Stonehenge is...authoritative, vigorously written" - Glyn Daniel in the Spectator
Prehistoric archaeology has seen notable advances in recent years, particularly at Stonehenge, where our understanding has been much enlarged by the latest excavations.
This book presents the results of that research, reinterprets the findings of earlier excavators, and gives a comprehensive account of the monument and its significance within the wider framework of British prehistory.
