Join historian Dan Snow as he explores the places that shaped England’s story, in this exclusive series with History Hit. In this episode, Dan visits one of the most iconic historic landmarks in the world — Stonehenge. Built around 2500 BC, in the late Neolithic period, these famous stones were brought here from as far away as the Preseli Hills in south-west Wales. While its exact purpose is unknown, the monument aligns with the movements of the sun, suggesting it may have been a form of prehistoric temple.
