The desire for knowledge and the love of mystery are two of the most powerful human impulses and Stonehenge satisfi es both at once. That is why it has never lost its hold on our imagination or our curiosity. It is the most famous megalithic structure in the world, instantly recognisable from the sketchiest of outlines and visited by over half a million people a year. Yet after more than a millennium of speculation and investigation we still have no certain idea of what it is or why it was built. By 1695 the antiquary Edmund Gibson was already complaining that Stonehenge is so singular and receives so little light from history that almost every one has advanced a new notion. Three hundred years later there has been considerably more light and many more notions, but few secure answers. This book, unusually in the vast literature on the subject, supports no particular theory about the purpose and meaning of prehistoric Stonehenge. It is concerned instead with what the monument is, physically, and what it has meant throughout historic time to those who have considered it, from medieval monks to modern archaeologists.
