Facsimiles of Aubrey's Plans of Abury.

circles cannot have been written many years later than that by 

 Aubrey. (See Wilts Magazine, vol. vi. p. 328.) 



" On Seven burrowes Hill, 4 miles west of Marleburrow near 

 London way, are 40 great stones, sometimes standing, but now 

 lying in a large circle, inclosing an inner circle of 16 great stones, 

 now lying also ; testified to be an old British Trophie by the Anglo- 

 British name thereof, (viz.) Sea veil Burrowes, and by those 7 huge 

 burrowes very near it with fragments of men's bones." This 

 extract shows that West Kennet or Overton Hill was, in the 17th 

 century, known as Seven-Barrow Hill — a name now disused. It 

 also explains the title which has been appended to Plate II. 



It remains only to add to Mr. Long's Paper on Abur}% the fol- 

 lowing Corrigenda, which were privately printed b}^ him soon after 

 its publication ; but have not hitherto appeared in this Magazine. 



Vol. iv. page 324, line 22. — " I have erred in supposing that there 

 were any impressions of Mr. Crocker's survey of 1812, with stones 

 marked upon them which were erased from the plate before the 

 publication of the second volume of Sir R. 0. Hoare's " North 

 Wilts," in 1819. The fact, however, remains, that stones were 

 found in the garden, pointed out by Mr. Lawrence Chivers. 



Page 325, line 3. — The stone here spoken of as erect, although 

 much reduced in size, and which is that next to the stone marked g 

 on Sir R. Hoare's plan, is in fact a large, unbroken, and recumbent 

 stone (and is so marked on Stukeley's ground plot), and the portion 

 above ground is merely a spur of its base. In the table at page 326, 

 I have reckoned it among the stones which are erect; but it should 

 have been numbered among those that have fallen : and, in that 

 case, the numbers of those standing in the Northern outer circle, in 

 StukeJey's time, would be 3 ; in 1819, 3 instead of 4; and in 

 1857, 2 instead of 3 ; and the number recumbent in 1857, would 

 be 13 instead of 12.
