In the spring of 1998, eroding peat beds at Holme-next-the-Sea on the Norfolk coast revealed a ring of timbers sunk deep into the sand around a huge, inverted tree stump: Seahenge. Amid impassioned debate and protests that involved archaeologists, local residents, druids, celebrities, and the local and national media, the Bronze Age monument was excavated. Once the dust had settled and the archaeologists had finished their work, English Heritage (which funded the excavation) commissioned Charlie Watson to research and write this book, which explores the archaeology and the controversy.
