The territory that now constitutes England , a country within the United Kingdom , was inhabited by hominids 800,000 years ago as the discovery of flint tools at Happisburgh in Norfolk has revealed. [ 1 ] The earliest evidence for early modern humans in North West Europe is a jawbone discovered in Devon at Kents Cavern in 1927, which was re-dated in 2011 to between 41,000 and 44,000 years old. [ 2 ] Continuous human habitation dates to around 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last glacial period . The region has numerous remains from the Mesolithic , Neolithic , and Bronze Age , such as Stonehenge and Avebury . In the Iron Age , England, like all of Britain south of the Firth of Forth , was inhabited by the Celtic people known as the Britons , but also by some Belgae tribes (e.g. the Atrebates , the Catuvellauni , the Trinovantes , etc.) in the south east.
