The Modern Antiquarian

Julian Cope

This is the most comprehensive guide to the megalithic and prehistoric sites of Britain ever produced.

Julian Cope spent eight years researching the inspirational and mythic importance of Britain's megalithic heritage for this "splendidly eccentric" epic work.

Part 1 explores British paganism prior to the arrival of Christianity - how the great Earth Goddess relates to the landscape, long barrows and standing stones.

Part 2 is a superb gazetteer of 300+ prehistoric sites in Britain, each with a photograph and Ordnance Survey location reference, and helpful hints for getting to the sites.

Plus notes of the site's geographical and historical significance and additional personal quirky observations.
