My knowledge of prehistory could be written in large letters on the back
of a small stamp, but there is no doubt in my mind that my local Bronze
Age monument (the Bleasdale Circle) was constructed by people who
thought that the "good times" were here to stay, and who got a nasty
shock when around 1760BC a deteriorating climate got a push over the
edge by the explosion at Santorini. The whole world suffered the same
effect. For Bleasdale read Dartmoor (and everywhere else).
