A family dominated by a father fanatical in his pursuit of authenticity and a dilettante professor of Archaeology and his students spend a summer in Northumberland trying to experience the life of Iron Age Britons. Tensions building within and between both groups come to a head when the father and professor form an uneasy alliance to embrace imagined Iron Age rituals. Told by the family's daughter, this is a brief and gripping story which builds to a dramatic conclusion. Stays in the mind.
