"Andrew Graham-Dixon visits the ancient site of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, on Winter Solstice.
There are more than one hundred Early Bronze Age carvings on the great stones at Stonehenge, most of which have been newly discovered by laser survey. Andrew discovers more about the significance of this carved art and what it tells us about the function of the site."
