http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-27238503 A Wiltshire town has been confirmed as the longest continuous settlement in the United Kingdom. Amesbury, including Stonehenge, has been continually occupied since BC8820, experts have found. The news was confirmed following an archaeological dig which also unearthed evidence of frogs' legs being eaten in Britain 8,000 years before France. Amesbury's place in history has also now been recognised by the Guinness Book of Records. David Jacques, from the University of Buckingham, said: "The site blows the lid off the Neolithic Revolution in a number of ways. I think it's appropriate that it's near Stonehenge - even if the settlement itself makes that monument look relatively 'modern' by comparison . I wonder how many objects survive from back then?
