The Entire History of Neolithic Britain and Ireland (4000 - 2500 BC)

The entire history of Neolithic Britain and Ireland from the migration and rise of the first farmers to the fall of their civilisation.

Who were the first farmers of the British Isles? Where did they come from and why did they migrate to these islands? And why did they build all those incredible megalithic monuments that we see in the landscape today?

This documentary covers the history of the Neolithic in Britain from around 4000 BC to the arrival of the Bell Beaker people in about 2500 BC.

We will look at the first farmers of Europe and their migrations across the continent, as well as their interactions with the Mesolithic Western Hunter Gatherers who were already there.

And we will dispel some of the biggest popular misconceptions about these amazing people.
