    British pre-history began around 8,000 years ago when Britain became an island at the end of the last ice age. Farming spread across the island from around 5000BC to 4500BC, with people settling down after 2000 years of movement. Early settlements and structures like Stonehenge dating back to 3800BC and 3000BC respectively served as places of worship and gathering. Various periods followed like the Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age, Iron Age and Celtic age, with the Celts introducing new farming techniques and the Druids serving as priests. The Romans first attempted to invade Britain led by Julius Caesar in 55BC and eventually conquered parts of it, introducing changes like roads, towns and London becoming the capital
