Chronicle (1966)

The Death of the High King (1968x4)

: 23, 1968

More than 3,000 years ago the great monument of Stonehenge was raised by the Bronze Age warriors of Britain. Its unique and sophisticated design suggests that it may have been the work of a single architect - a priest or king who could command such a massive undertaking. Who was he? How did he live - or die? No written or spoken record has survived to tell us. Tonight's Chronicle uses the evidence of archaeology and other studies to reconstruct, in dramatic form, the story as it might have been.
