Hi 12 bar,
Only tihng I can add is that I think I've just discovered a two mile long stone row, which has been largely obliterated by an Iron age dyke. If I wasn't looking for the dyke, I wouldn't have found the row.
I believe that in a large number of cases the neolithic is hidden by the activities of later years, therefore the periods are linked and to ignore one would remove knowledge of the other.
I'm convinced that no-one died in the making of a vitrified fort (other than possible sacrifices), one day I hope to prove it.
On the other hand I possibly understand how you feel. You see I hate the Romans. Before they came into my area Brigantia things were very peaceful - hill forts had been abandoned for several hundred years over the whole of "middle" britain. There are no signs of border disputes in this period, the only trouble makers were down south.
Yet every day I have to look at Roman things in order to find out about what happened before they arrived.
What does turn you on? stones in particular? Don't you like burial mounds?
