Rb-brection op the Trilithon which fell in 1797. 

 (Page 81.; 



For more than twenty years there has been discussion about the 

 propriety of re-erecting the stones of the trilithon which last fell 

 down. It appears, however, that at a very early period in the pre- 

 sent century the same idea had been entertained, but had come to 

 nought. Mr. Britton, in his memoir of Mr. Hatcher, says " that 

 a sum of fifty pounds, which had been subscribed to raise the fallen 

 trihthon at Stonehenge, was, in 1802, employed in exploring some 

 of the numerous barrows of Salisbury Plain."

 (Page 85.; 



There seems to have been some confusion in Sir R. Hoare's mind 

 about this digging around the " Slaughtering Stone," as it appears 

 that it was done by Mr. Cunnington, in 1 802, two or three years 

 before his connection with Sir Richard commenced. For " he," in 

 the next line, read " Sir R. Hoare."

 (Page QO.J 



Any one who would visit the west end of the Cursus should go 

 along the road to Shrewton, as far as barrow No. 42, and then cross 

 the road. At a distance of about 300 yards he wiU come upon this 

 end of the Cursus. One of the barrows upon it is on the down, the 

 other inside the plantation. It will be useless to attempt to trace its 

 boundaries through the plantation. 



Absence of Anglo-Saxon Barrows from the neighbourhood op 



Stonehenge.

" It is further to be remarked that the few Anglo-Saxon tumuli 

 which have been found in Wiltshire were in the outlying districts 

 and valleys, and not one of them on the barrow-covered hills and
