[00:01.557] The mainland too, of course, had its burial chambers, like the long barrow at West Kennet.
[00:17.362] And there were also the great stone circles.
[00:20.270] The largest at Avebury,but the most spectacular of all at Stonehenge.
[00:35.820] By 1,000 BC, things were changing fast.
[00:39.551] All over the British landscape, a protracted struggle for good land was taking place.

[01:40.845] They were built in the centuries before the Roman invasions.
[01:43.839] When population pressure was at its most intense and farmers had growing need of protection.
[01:50.630] First from the elements, but later from each other.
