Neolithic (pre 2000 BC)
_______________________________________
Bronze Age
There is no clear consensus on the date for the beginning of the Bronze Age in Great Britain and Ireland. Some sources give a date as late as 2000 BC,[1] while others set 2200 BC as the demarcation between the Neolithic and the Bronze Age.[2]
_______________________________________
Early Bronze Age (EBA), c. 2500–1500 BC
The period from 2500 BC to 2000 BC has been called the “Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age”, in recognition of the difficulty of exactly defining this boundary.[3]
- The Overton Period is the name given by archaeologists to a division of prehistory in Britain covering the period between 2000 BC and 1650 BC.
- It follows the Mount Pleasant Period and precedes the Bedd Branwen Period and is named after the typesite of the West Overton barrow cemetery in Wiltshire.

*** EDWARD, king of the Anglo-Saxons, to Fritheston, bishop of Winchester. Confirmation of his title to 20 “mansae” at Uferantum (Overton) with the woodland at Tandanleage (Tadley), …, free of all but the three common dues.
