Stonehenge: Concerning the Four Stations

Abstract

There are also two mounds in corresponding complementary (or reversed) positions. The arrangement is shown on the accompanying plan (Fig. 1), the dimensions for which have been taken from Flinders Petrie's very careful measurements as published in his work, “Stonehenge—Plans, Description and Theories” (1880).
