Monumental Landscapes
Follow me on YouTube
Presented by Dr Aaron Watson, this channel explores prehistoric monuments and landscapes across Britain and Ireland. Through fieldwork, experimental archaeology, film, and visual storytelling, it investigates how Neolithic and Bronze Age communities engaged with light, sound, place, and time—and what those experiences can still reveal today.
You’ll find on-site explorations of stone circles, chambered cairns, and rock art, alongside research into sensory phenomena such as archaeo-optics and archaeoacoustics. The focus is not only on what these monuments were, but how they were encountered—and how they continue to shape perception in the present.
Monumental Landscapes is for anyone interested in archaeology, landscape, and deeper ways of understanding the past—and ourselves.
