Don't miss the secrets of Stonehenge finally revealed in our latest special, Stonehenge Decoded.

Stonehenge is one of the most mysterious prehistoric sites mankind has ever known and for centuries its purpose has been the source of intense speculation.

Now in our ground-breaking special, British archaeologist Professor Mike Parker Pearson unearths surprising evidence supporting a radical new vision of Stonehenge. His revolutionary theory suggests that the stone circle was at the centre of one of the largest prehistoric religious complexes in the world.

Through CGI, dramatic recreations and narration by Donald Sutherland, we transport you to the prehistoric world of Stonehenge and provide startling revelations about this archaeological mystery.

Premieres Sunday 1st June 8pm

    You have linked to the same info I have given


    Excavations revealed the remains of eight wooden buildings. Surveys of the landscape have identified up to 30 more dwellings, Parker Pearson said.


    ....................



    "We could have many hundreds of houses here,"




    Which is why I asked if anybody had seen the programme
