Avebury was the scene of Arthur's last great battle ; and is the burying- 

 place of his slain. Silbury Hill stands upon the Koman road ; and must 

 therefore be of later date. Stonehenge means " Stan Hengist " ; and 

 Geoffrey of Monmouth's account of this monument fixes its true date, 

 (c. 466 A.D.).

" Stonehenge is an instance of ornamental construction wholly without 

 ornament, yet it is almost as imposing an architectural object as any of 

 the same dimensions in any part of the world." {See Vol. I., pp. 9, 122,

The author believes, in the main, in Geoffrey of Monmouth's account of 

 Stonehenge — that it was erected by Ambrosius about 466 to 470 A.D. 

 He describes it as " exceptional. It is the only hewn stone monument we 

 possess, the only one where trilithons are found with horizontal architraves, 

 and where the outer circle also possesses these imposts." For " Avebury 

 and Stonehenge " see pp. 61 — 115, with thirteen illustrations.

At daybreak on 21 June, 1894, a bird perched upon the " gnomon," and 

 flew away a moment before the sun rose over the stone. A local legend 

 states that this is invariably the case ; while for the rest of the year no 

 bird is ever known to alight upon this stone. See also p. 115 for an 

 account of a visit paid by " the lodge " to Stonehenge ; with one plate.
