Thanks for that.

I agree about the timber and marshlands. I assume that the Italian Chappies had better technology for transporting heavy goods such as stone.

Although you would have thought that areas such as Hampstead & Highgate would have been prime sites for megalithic structures. This, of course, doesn't take into account any of the spiritual or scientific reasons for erecting circles etc...

On the question of Roman building materials, Verulamium was built almost entirely out of brick and local flint.

The Roman bricks were re-used in the building of the Abbey, and are still visible both at the Cathedral (technically it's the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban) and in what remains of the Roman city (Verulamium park).
