The earliest people are thought to have come to Britain about 500,000 years ago. Britain and Ireland were joined to Europe at this time, and during several Ice Ages much of the land was covered with thick ice. This period was known as the Stone Age, and people used stone tools to hunt and fish. The melting ice created the English Channel and Irish Sea, forming the islands of Britain and Ireland. Stonehenge was an ancient temple built in several stages between about 3000 BC and 1300 BC. It is near Salisbury and can still be visited today (for details see the English Heritage site: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk; see also: Travel/Tours/England/Central). After about 1800 BC metal tools started to be made by mixing copper and tin (from Cornwall) : this is known as the Bronze Age. The Celts were tribes invaded from Europe after about 800 BC. They developed knowledge of how to make stronger weapons and tools using iron: the start of the Iron Age.Gaelic, Irish, Welsh and Cornish languages are all connected to the language of the Celts. The Celts living in Britain were known as Britons.

The Britons.
The Celts (aka Scots) were to the north of Hadrian's Wall, approximately where the border to Scotland is today.
The Irish Celts were never troubled by the Romans.
Soon after the Romans left, in the 400s AD, the Anglos and Saxons migrated to England and dominated the Britons. Their domination continued for about 600 years until the Normans (from Normandy, France) conquered England in 1066.

Before the Romans: the Celts.
After the Romans: the Celts, but they were soon beaten into wales by the invading Germanic tribes from Germany, Holland and Denmark we now know as the Anglo-Saxons, or English.
