A comprehensive archaeological reference, A Guide to the Megaliths of Europe presents an authoritative survey of the prehistoric stone monuments scattered across the European continent.

Written with scholarly precision yet accessible clarity, it instructs the curious traveller and the serious researcher alike on how to locate, identify, and interpret these ancient landmarks. The authors illustrate how these enigmatic constructions reflect the sophisticated social, spiritual, and engineering capabilities of Neolithic and Bronze Age peoples. An indispensable companion for anyone passionate about prehistoric Europe, the book remains a landmark reference in the field of megalithic studies.
