86 Bibliography of Stonehenge avd Avebury. 



Crocker's plan of Stonehenge (drawn for Sir E. C. Hoare) is not strictly 

 accurate. Praises Petrie's plans, and states that the only reason why he 

 (Lukis) has drawn a new plan is that the Society " wished to possess one 

 drawn to the same scale as that of other monuments which I have made 

 for them." Many interesting details of the remarkable "constructive 

 ingenuity " exhibited by the builders of Stonehenge are described ; and 

 it is considered to be " unique." 



As to Avebury, Mr. Lukis finds much fault with both Stukeley's plans and 

 theories ; and declares that he had " serpent on the brain " 1

For Avebury see pp. 344 — 346 ; Winterbourne-Bassett, p. 347 ; Stanton 

 Drew, 347 — 351. The circle, etc., on Overton (or Hackpen) HiU, had no 

 connection with the Kennet Avenue of stones leading to Avebury. The 

 " Beckhampton Avenue " of Stukeley never existed.

The megalithic erections of Brittany " testify to engineering skill of no 

 mean kind," and yet they were constructed by a race having "no knowledge 

 of bronze and iron, neither of these metals having ever been found in their 

 previously undisturbed tombs."
