Described as the "most important piece of prehistoric art to be found in Britain in the last 100 years", an elaborately decorated 5,000-year-old chalk cylinder, buried with three child skeletons in Yorkshire, and as old as the first phase of Stonehenge, is going on display at the British Museum for the first time.

Known as the Burton Agnes chalk drum, we were able to view this incredible piece of art up close.

History Hit's Tristan Hughes was given special access to the 'World of Stonehenge exhibition' to speak to the team responsible for the discovery and explore its fascinating story.
