Over eighty interments were found in a portion only of a circular area 

 70ft. in diameter. No tumuli here ; so that the graves were probably those 

 of the "lowly and unhonoured." Urns containing burnt bones, and a 

 bronze ring were also found.

Geoffrey and his compeers were " romancers." Stonehenge is the "tomb 

 of some Celtic or still earlier aboriginal chief" ; (p. 50).

The means of observing sunrise by the aid of the " pointer stone " are " not 

 accurate enough to decide whether the sun's centre or northern or southern 

 limb is in line with the pointer." But as the surrounding tumuli contain 

 fragments of the stones used in the monument, it was probably erected 

 before these tumuli (which belong to the Bronze Age) were raised.
