England

England is the geographically largest country in the UK, and its landscape & peoples are historically diverse. This has been due to its proximity to continental Europe, and lack of natural barriers, which have led to constant invasion, immigration and raiding from prehistory to '1066' and beyond. This can be seen in an extremely diverse range of megalithic structures, from tiny, knee-high stone circles, to the towering monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury.

There is no real feature unique to English sites, with the exception of Stonehenge, but Megalithic engineering reached its peak with the largest man made structures ever observed in the prehistory of Britain: Avebury Henge & Stone Circle, and Silbury Hill - a man made mound so large, even the Romans had to go around it!
