Towards the end of the Neolithic Period - 5,000 years ago, there was a dramatic and widespread spread of large scale ritual monument building.

In this much revised second edition, George Chaplin looks at the larger, better known ritual monuments such as Stonehenge and contrasts these with the complex at Thornborough and asks - Could one have been more important than the others?

The book provides a fascinating insight into the ritual monuments of Britain - suggesting reasons for their location and the activities that took place.

The book has 91 colour illustrations and photographs and 93 printed pages.

This book is a must for big henge fans everywhere. It introduces new ideas as to purpose and importance of ancient sites that challenge many traditional views.
