88 Bibliography of Stonehenge and Avebury. 



William, the monk of Malmesbury, ranks as one of the best and most 

 painstaking of our early historians. He relates the story of a massacre 

 of the British by Hengist ; but does not mention either Stonehenge or 

 any of the legends related about it by Geoffrey of Monmouth, who was 

 his contemporary. Yet it seems probable that had such legends then 

 existed (other than in the brain of Geoffrey), they would have been known 

 to this " learned monk."
