The part of British history I find fascinating is the period between the end of the Roman occupation, (even that is not really well understood), and the period known as the Middle Ages.
There is still a lot of speculation over whether there ever really was a Saxon "Invasion" largely because of the lack of evidence of widespread fighting during that period. Sure there are battle sites that have been found but certainly nothing that would indicate a widespread invasion.
The lack of written records from that period, just make it all the more difficult to get a handle on what Britain was really like during that time.
I've also keen on the pre-Roman period, who were the builders of Stonehenge and other monuments that predate the Romans?
