Summary:

In the French Alps, near Mount Pilat, filmmaker Rob Hope explores little-known Neolithic archaeological remains from up to 4000 years ago.

"In the French Alps, around Mount Pilat, filmmaker Rob Hope explores little known Neolithic archaeological remains from up to 4,000 years ago. He notes a mysterious large-scale system of drystone walls, mounds and cairns, whose builders and exact time of building remain unsolved. He also finds a mountaintop Iron Age stone fort amid mixtures of later remains, including Roman and Medieval architectural ruins. As he journeys deeper into these remote and wild places still remaining there today, he also delves deeper into a distant human past."-- From Heritage Broadcasting Service
