An excellent and accessible coverage of Stonehenge, not simply as a monument, but also as part of the sacred landscape of the area, as well as the people who built and developed it over a millennia.
A lot of the book is based on Mike Pearson Parker’s extensive excavations and reinterpretion of previous archaeological digs in the area.
Overall, a great read that didn’t get lost in the details while still providing a solid overview, and almost certainly now the definitive book on Stonehenge.
Rating: 5/5
