Back to A Long and Illustrious History
Stone Age and early Britain
Study note
The first people in Britain were hunter-gatherers in the Stone Age. For long periods Britain was connected to the continent by land; it became permanently separated as an island only after the last ice age. Monuments such as Stonehenge and Skara Brae in Orkney date from this very early period.
Memory tip: Stone Age first; Stonehenge and Skara Brae are the famous prehistoric sites.
