威尔特郡埃夫伯里的石圈是不列颠群岛最著名的史前纪念碑之一。然而，尽管本世纪早期的H.圣乔治格雷、亚历山大凯勒和其他人做了大量的工作，但目前对它的理解却令人惊讶地不足。更令人惊讶的是，迄今为止，对遗址记录的适当分析是如此之少，而这些记录是在近几个世纪以来人类入侵对其造成严重破坏之前的，而且往往是考古学发现的重要补充。在这项工作中，记录埃夫伯里所作的17和18世纪世纪古物受到系统和搜索审查。这里首次公布了两份关于该遗址的平面图，它们的日期比迄今已知的任何平面图都要早--一份是由石圈的发现者约翰·奥布里绘制的，另一份是由一位在石圈历史上的作用一直被忽视的人物沃尔特·查尔顿绘制的，他是查理二世的皇家医生。此外，更好地了解奥布里和威廉Stuarty记录检查和详细阐明其上下文。
Book synopsis: The stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire is one of the best-known prehistoric monuments in the British Isles. Yet current understanding of it is surprisingly inadequate, despite the extensive work earlier this century of H.St George Gray, Alexander Keiller and others. More surprising still is how little proper analysis there has hitherto been of the records of the site which predate the severe damage done to it by human encroachments over recent centuries, and which often crucially supplement the findings of archaeology. In this work, the records of Avebury made by 17th and 18th century antiquarians are subjected to systematic and searching scrutiny. Two plans of the site which are of earlier date than any hitherto known are here published for the first time - one by the discoverer of the stone circle, John Aubrey, the other by a figure whose role in its history has been neglected, Walter Charleton, royal physician to Charles II. In addition, the better-known records of Aubrey and of William Stukeley are examined and their context elucidated in detail.
