A true crime case from the heart of the prehistoric monument.

A body is found at Stonehenge. It's the skeleton of a man - an archer - who lived at the time when it was first built. How did he die? What secrets does his skeleton reveal about his life and the purpose of Stonehenge?

In today's episode, Anthony and Maddy investigate a 4,000 year-old murder mystery, as well as exploring the big questions that surround Stonehenge: how was it built? Who built it, and why?!

A special thanks to Adrian Green, Director at Salisbury Museum.

Edited by Tomos Delary. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
