Cunnington, Wm., and Rev. E. H. Goddard. 



1896. Catalogue of Antiquities in the Museum of the 

 Wiltshire Archaeological and Nat. Hist. Society at Devizes. 

 Part I. The Stourhead Collection. 8vo., iv., 96 : with seventy- 

 eight illustrations : Devizes. 



The valuable collection of antiquities formed early in the nineteenth century 

 by Mr. Cunnington and Sir B. C. Hoare, largely from the excavation of 

 the barrows in the neighbourhood of Stonehenge, and formerly preserved 

 at Stourhead, is now the property of the Wiltshire ArchaBological Society. 

 Every object in that collection is accurately described in this Catalogue, 

 the illustrations to which are partly reproductions from the plates of 

 " Ancient Wilts," and partly from original drawings.

(c. 300 pp. each vol.) 

 (See also Chalmers' Poets, III. ; and Anderson's Poets, IV.) 

 In a couple of dozen lines the author laments our ignorance of the origin 



and date of Stonehenge ; and ridicules the fairy tales told about it by the 



early chroniclers [Vol. I., p. 236].

The undermining by worms may have contributed to the fall of some of 

 the stones. Some of the recumbent stones have been lowered in the 

 ground 9 or 10 inches by the removal of earth from beneath them by 

 worm-action since the time of their fall [see pp. 148, 154, 309]. On p. 156 

 is a " section through one of the fallen Druidical stones at Stonehenge, 

 showing how much it had sunk into the ground."

In the language of the Cymry, Stonehenge was Gzvaitk Emrys — the 

 structure of the revolution (evidently that of the sun). It was the temple 

 of Apollo of the Hyperboreans. " But after the irruption of the Belgse, 

 and the further incroachment of the Bomans, the Druids 'retired from 

 their ancient magnificent seat at Abury, and their Circular Uncovered 

 temple on Salisbury Plain," and took refuge in Anglesey. [See pp. 141, 

 146, 190, and 193.]
