The Broken Stone is a story set several thousand years ago which follows the journey of two children from a small village to the Arlth Island, where inheritance, discovery and betrayal await them.
The author shows simple methods by which the ancients might have realised that the heavens are spherical. He then introduces a special place where a bright daytime star can be made to rise above the table of a round temple.
The Epilogue and the Appendix, using precise computer generated models and side by side comparisons with referenced archaeological data, show the evidence that the features of the round table are duplicated at Stonehenge.
