This 1740 analysis of Stonehenge by William Stukeley is one of the classic studies of the historic and mystical site. Stukeley was a Fellow of the Royal Society and an early Speculative Freemason. Stukeley's work on Stonehenge was one of the first to attempt to date the monument and was one of the first to make accurate drawings of the site. The illustrations in this book, which show Stonehenge from every angle and document its context in the 18th century landscape, are still used today by scholars.

These ancient mysterious temples are to be found in all the islands between Scotland and Ireland, isle of Man, all the Orkney islands, &c. and numerous in Ireland itself. And there is no pretence, as far as I can see, for any other persons or nations being the founders of them. They are circles of stones, generally rude, of different diameters, upon elevated ground, barren, open heaths and downs; chiefly made of stones taken from the surface of the ground. There are no remembrances of the founders, any other than an uninterrupted tradition of their being sacred; that there is medicinal virtue in them; that they were made by the Irish; that they were brought from Afric; that they were high-places of worship; sanctuaries; bowing, adoring places; and what names they commonly have, intimate the same thing.
