Stonehenge: The Lost Circle Revealed (UK) | Click here to watch
(59 min; 2021; English)
Director: Peter Chinn

An exceptional documentary covering a series of archaeological excavations between 2014 and 2018 that aimed to trace the quarry of the Stonehenge bluestones. While the stones' origin in the Wels Preseli Hills was suspected for a century, pinpointing the precise location seemed a long shot. The actual discovery and dating of the Neolithic quarry was an exceptional achievement, but it further led to the revelation that the stones were extracted four centuries earlier than their arrival at Stonehenge and thus could have been set up in a separate monument in the intervening period. Further excavations in the region were undertaken to find the location of this lost site and the evidence for its connection with the Stonehenge bluestones.

The documentary collects footage from multiple video diaries recorded over the many excavation seasons and builds a consistent narrative, documenting the progress of the search, the highs and lows and the methods applied.
