 inhabit an island in the ocean, under the Bear, situated opposite Celtica 

 [Gaul J, and as large as Sicily. They have a stately grove and a renowned 

 temple of a round form, dedicated to Apollo, and adorned with many rich 

 gifts. They have also a city sacred to Apollo, who visits it in person every 

 nineteen years, the citizens of which were the priests of the god, to whose 

 praise they constantly chanted hymns and tuned lyres. The inhabitants 

 of this island have a language of their own ; but have been visited by the 

 Greeks, who had made divers gifts inscribed with Greek characters." 

 This account is preserved as a quotation by Dkfdorus [ii., 47].

This author was the first to mention Stonehenge by that name ; and also 

 the first to give any description of it. He refers to the monument as the 

 second of the four " wonders " of England — [Translation] : — " The second 

 is at Stanenges, where stones of a wonderful size have been erected 

 after the manner of doorways, so that doorway appears to have been 

 raised upon doorway, nor can anyone conceive by what art such great 

 stones have been so raised aloft, or why they were there constructed."
