Challenges the popular theory that Stonehenge served as a prehistoric astronomical observatory. This work rather advances a political theory grounded in cultural continuities that carry forward into the early Iron Age, best documented in ancient Ireland. It intends to reconstruct the city from the archaeological evidence.

Stonehenge dates its Bronze Age phase to 2000 B.C. (but with a history stretching back yet another thousand years to Neolithic times). It attracts more than a million tourists a year, but is more than an array of great standing stones. Stonehenge was indeed its own city, the metropolitan center of a powerful kingdom heretofore unsuspected.

That city is reconstructed by the author from the archaeological evidence--royal palace, banquet hall and tomb, among other buildings. Here (apart from Homer) begins European literature, derived from oral traditions. The entire book is richly illustrated.
