The Bronze Age in Britain probably extended from B.C. 1200 or 1400 to 

 B.C. 400. Forty-five localities in Wiltshire have yielded bronze objects, 

 including some from the barrows near Stonehenge. Objects of stone, 

 amber, ivory, and gold, with beads of glass, are found associated with 

 those of bronze. For Stonehenge see pp. 47, 189, 191, and 226 : and 

 for Avebury see p. 400.

Evelyn visited Stonehenge in 1654, and counted "95 stones." He found 

 the rock " so exceedingly hard, that all my strength with a hammer could 

 not break a fragment." He identifies the stones with some of the " same 

 kind about 20 miles distant," i.e., near Marlborough. (See Vol. II., p. 60 ; 

 ed. of 1879.)

great stones now standing upon the plain of Salisbury, and called the

In a paper read 9th Jan., 1865, Ferguson suggested that the two cavities 

 seen on the upper surface of the fallen impost of the great altar trilithon, 

 had served as sockets for the pillars of a second superposed trilithon. In 

 confirmation of this he quoted the description of the stones by Henry of 

 Huntingdon : — " so that doorway appears to have been raised upon 

 doorway." But the upper surfaces of the imposts of the two other 

 trilithons still standing, are both quite plain and level.
