Find out how – 4,500 years ago - the first stones at the henge were dragged 180 miles from Wales.
And what about the round barrow mounds that surround the henge. Who was buried inside these ancient graves?
We tell the story of how the first metalworker in Britain came to be buried near the henge. Is he the best known man in Bronze Age Britain?
Together, presenters Richard Madden and Marc Zakian dowse the mysterious lay lines that run under the great monument, and explain how anyone can experiment with this extraordinary and unexplained force.
