The giants of northern mythology were called (in Anglo-Saxon) Eotenas. 

 To them the early Anglo-Saxon poetry attributed the works of antiquity 

 which were found in England. Thus Layamon, " who breathes a pure 

 Saxon spirit, translates the name chorea ftigantum which Geoffrey of 

 Monmouth gives to Stonehenge, by the ring of Eotens: — 

 "it is a very wonderful thing, 

 it is called the ring of Eotens or giants."

335—349. 



Thinks that Geoffrey's History was based on Breton and English romances, 



plus the author's general knowledge, and added to very largely by his 

 imagination. His story of Stonehenge erected by supernatural means 

 may have been an English local legend.

1875. Third Edition. 



In the third edition Stonehenge is referred to on pp. 79, 83, 85, and 108; 

 with a plate facing p. 80. Its date is apparently assigned to a time not 

 very far remote from the arrival of the Komans in Britain. 



1854. Wanderings of an Antiquary: 8vo., xi., 331; 



with thirty-nine plates and nine vignettes : London. 

 Stonehenge occupies Chap. XV., pp. 287 — 307 ; with two cuts. The author 

 is inclined to " ascribe the erection of Stonehenge to the earlier part of 

 the Boman settlement, perhaps to that period while the British princes 

 were allowed a nominal independence."
