me not much to be doubted, that, as Stonehenge is an improvement upon
Abury, so Abury is executed upon a grander plan, taken from this, or
some such like. I can scarce think there ever was an avenue to this
work, nor any ditch about it. It is true, there is a ditch, or mote,
now round the north side along the river: but I believe it was only
a fish-pond, or canal, made for the use of the manor-house, or the
nunnery, in whose demesnes soever it were; and it is plain there is
no sign of a ditch on the south side, where most occasion, because
the river on the other side produces the use and effect of it: and if
those stones called Hautvile’s Coyts were not set there for direction
of the old Britons which way to come in this woody country, or where
a ford of the river was, why might they not be stones dropped by the
way in journeying to the temple? and they are of the same dimensions
with that on the back of the cove. I am very apt to think there was
another work, a cove at least, in a triangle with the other and the
lunar circle; and the rather, because the manor-house and offices being
built upon its situation, it were easy for them to throw it down under
some foundation: and then the _area_, or whole content of the oval
knoll, would be filled up handsomely, and with great regularity. And
indeed I am shocked at the number of the works at present, being four;
whereas that of five seems much more eligible in this case, both as
an odd number, and an harmonic: for I doubt not but the Druids, the
contrivers of these structures, had a good notion of music, as I could
evidence in some observations I have made in the very matters before
us; but I fear to be thought whimsical in a thing of this nature, and
in a subject so wholly new. It is certain Pythagoras, the Arch-druid,
as I venture to call him, completed this art. Now, what can be plainer
than the conformity between this work and Abury? the same situation,
near the spring of a river, upon a knoll in a large valley, guarded
from severity of weather by environing hills: here is the cove of
three stones; the circle of twelve; that of thirty stones, all set at
the same intervals of thirty foot: here are the concentric circles.
But then Abury is a vastly more extensive and magnificent design; the
stones of much larger dimensions, and much more numerous. Here are
two circles, the one of twelve, the other of thirty stones; but at
Abury they have repeated them, and doubled them, by setting one within
the other: the quincuple circle they have infinitely exceeded by the
prodigious circular portico of a hundred stones on a side; then by the
mighty ditch and _vallum_ encompassing it; by two avenues three miles
in length, each of a hundred stones on a side: by the temple on Overton
hill, by Silbury hill, and other matters, they have so far exceeded
their copy, that in the total they have outdone themselves, and
created a Celtic wonder of the world, or the eighth. But to return to
our present subject.
The stones of our innermost circle of the quincuple one are twelve foot
high above ground, and are of a square form, being four foot broad on
each side, whence they compose three solids, one set upon another, and
therefore appeared higher above the tops of the rest. Five of them are
standing, and the roots of them two which are placed close together
with their edges, and which make the cove; for the stones themselves
are split from their foundation by some unaccountable violence, which,
upon consideration, I can attribute to nothing less than a stroke of
lightning; nor can I conceive that any other impulse, except that of a
cannon bullet, could have so disjointed or fractured them. This set of
circles are placed on the eastern side of the knoll, and have a fine
declivity two or three ways for carrying off the rain. This niche,
or cove, if such it be, opens to the north, and a little westerly:
several of the stones of the outer circles stand on the other side
of the hedge, and two or three are sunk into the ditch: those are
vulgarly called the Fidlers, as the others the Maids, or the revel
rout attendant on a marriage festival; for the people of this country
have a notion, that upon a time a couple were married on a Sunday, and
the friends and guests were so prophane as to dance upon the green
together, and by a divine judgment were thus converted into stones: so
I suppose the two stones so close together in the inner circle were
reputed the Bride and Bridegroom: the rest were the Company dancing,
and the Fidlers stood on the outside. I have observed that this notion
and appellation of Weddings, Brides, and the like, is not peculiar to
this place, but applied to many other of these Celtic monuments about
the kingdom; as the Nine Maids in Cornwall, nine great stones set all
in a row: whence possibly one may conjecture, in very ancient times it
was a custom here, even of the Christians, to solemnise marriage and
other holy rites in these ancient temples, perhaps before churches were
built in little parishes: and even now they retain, or very lately did,
in Scotland, a custom of burying people in the like temples, as judging
them holy ground; without all doubt, continued down from the Druidical
times. Or there may be another conceit offered, of which the reader may
chuse which pleases him best; that is, that such names of these places
may be derived from the mad, frolicksome, and Bacchanalian ceremonies
of the ancient Britons in their religious festivals, like those of all
other nations which are recorded to us in history. However, I think it
is a confirmation of what wants none, that these are the temples of
the Gods, made by our British predecessors; of which we come next to
deliver our opinion.
We are to consider, upon the plan proposed, what regard is had to the
Celtic Deities, which we said were seven in number; and methinks it is
easy to point out at this day the particular Gods worshipped in these
places, as I have named them upon the Plate. The Sun and Moon, no
doubt, claim the highest place in the opinion of all nations; therefore
their temples are situate in the midst of the plain of the oval knoll:
these are the two single circles: the Sun’s is easily distinguishable
from the other by its bulk, and being toward the right hand, and
toward the east, the more worthy part: this consisting of 30 stones,
and the other of 12, seem to mean the Solar month, and Lunar year: the
quincuple circle I suppose consecrate to the five lesser planets; and
that the cove appertained to the Service of the Goddess of the Earth,
therefore opens to the South, respecting full the meridian power of
the Soul of the World, without whose beams it is dead and inert. Hence
therefore the reason of their order in Situation: the Lunar temple is
next the earth, because so in the heavens; the Sun next above; and the
planets highest, according to the order one would be apt to suppose
they observed in Nature. It seems likely that the Celtic philosophers
reckoned the north the highest part or end of the world, either from
the elevation of the north pole to us of northern latitude, as our
geographers now practise in maps and charts, by making the north part
uppermost; or because they came from that quarter of the world in the
progress of nations: but we must join the east with it; for _that_,
ever since the Creation, in all systems of religion, and nations, has
been especially reverenced, because of the Sun’s rising: and the west
was reckoned the lower part of the world, the hell and region of the
dead, the Elysian Shades, and the like; because the Sun sets there, and
seems to go down: therefore we may observe the reason of the cove being
placed most westerly, because the earth possesses the lowest place,
the rest mounting north-easterly. The niche or cove of the innermost
planet regards the north, or a little westerly, as denoting, beyond the
stars was stretched out the great _inane_ of Nature, or infinite space,
the empty north, as most distant and dissonant from the south, where
was the Sun and world, the foundation of being. If one would enter
into their theology, one might conjecture that they meant likewise the
creation of the world; for the north, or immense void, being uppermost
in their esteem, showed that the world was produced from nothing, by
the Supreme Power. To this purpose holding night prior to day, they
reckoned their time by winters, nights, etc. One other remark I made on
the genius and geometry of the founders of the Weddings; that in the
inner circle of the Planetary temple, which is but 90 foot diameter,
and therefore an eye in the centre is very near them, there is a
considerable artifice used in its component stones; for, though they
be square, yet they are so managed that the face on the outside of
the periphery is somewhat broader than the other three; hereby it is
caused, that the two sides upon the _radius_ respect the centre of the
circle. This is contrived to prevent the great offence to the eye which
would otherwise have been caused in this lesser circle, had the stones
been perfectly square, and, instead thereof, give a particular delight.
I mentioned before, how much I suspected a cove which had stood near
the manor-house in the north-west part of the knoll: this I would
have dedicated to the element of Water, or particularly to the river
flowing by, the _Isca_, which I have shewn to be its Celtic name: and
this cove, thus situate, would offer itself conveniently to the course
of the stream, and meet, as it were, to salute the Nymphs or Naids
moving down the Stream eastward. I think likewise this might be another
reason of their pitching upon this piece of ground; for probably they
might think there was more sanctity in a river that ran eastward: it
is certain the ancients accounted it more wholesome, for a physical
reason, as meeting the Sun’s rising beams, to purify it from all
noxious vapor: and for this same reason is there another similitude
between this work and that of Abury, the Kennet running eastward its
whole length.
As soon as I came on the ground, I observed the form of the hill
or knoll that contains this work, and that it perfectly resembles
that of the ancient circus’s; and the fine lawn on the south side,
together with the interval northwards between it and the river, made
an admirable _cursus_ for races of horses, chariots, and the like,
as I doubt not in the least to have been the practice in old British
times at this very place. This notion is exceedingly confirmed by the
remarkable turn in the road, humouring exactly the circuit of this
_cursus_, and coinciding with part of it, as is apparent in the view
of the country Plate; and just on the south side the manor-house is a
declivity at this day, and so quite round, admirably adapted to the
benefit of the spectators, who, running round in a lesser circle,
might easily equal the swiftness of the horse, and be spectators of
the whole course. I suppose all the sorts of games practised here,
which are mentioned in Homer upon the death of Patroclus: this was done
at their great religious festivals, and at the exequies of renowned
commanders, kings, and chiefs; for it is remarkable at this very day,
all those sports mentioned by the most ancient poet are now practised
among us; which shews our Asian extract from the early times, and only
accounts for that surprising custom of chariots mentioned to be among
the Britons by Cæsar, which they wisely applied to war likewise, whilst
the Romans used them only upon their _circus_ and diversions. The great
plain in the middle of the _area_ was convenient for the works of
sacrificing, and after for feastings, wrestling, coyting, and the like:
and from the memory, perhaps, of these kind of exercises, sprung the
notion of Sir John Hautvil’s Coyts, he being a strong and valiant man,
and expert in these games of our hardy ancestors: the vulgar confounded
the two histories into one, and, fond of the marvellous, applied the
name of Coyts to those monstrous stones. So in Wales to this day they
call the _Kromlechea_, Arthur’s Coyts.
Thus therefore we may in imagination view a solemn sacrifice of
magnanimous Britons, the Druids and other priests, the kings and people
assembled: we may follow them imitating the course of the Sun, and,
like the ancient Greeks at their solemn games, celebrating splendidly,
in honour of their Gods, upon the winding banks of the rivers. The
temple at Diospolis in Egypt, described by Strabo, XVII. is not unlike
our Celtic ones, having a _dromos_, or circ, before it, with stones cut
like _sphynges_ to mark out the _route_, and a _portico_ quite round.
The walls, says he, are as high as the temple, which is without roof,
and covered over with sculpture of large figures. There is one part
composed of abundance of huge pillars set in very many rows, having
nothing painted or elegant, but seems like an empty labour, as he
expresses it; and this was, because the Grecian temples of his country
were covered over, and the walls adorned with painting and carving,
and all sorts of curiosities in art. In this temple (he proceeds)
were formerly great houses for the priests, men given to philosophy
and astronomy: but now that order and discipline is failed, and only
some sorry fellows left, that take care of the sacrifices, and show
the things to strangers. Eudoxus and Plato went hither, and lived
thirteen years to learn of them. These priests knew the minute excess
of the year above 365 days, and many more like things; for, says he,
the Greeks were ignorant of the year at that time. Thus far Strabo. It
is notorious from the foregoing particulars, how near a resemblance
these had to our Celtic temples, and likewise to the famous ruins
at Persepolis, which I always looked upon as a great temple of the
Persians. Those that think it the ruins of a royal palace, run away
content with the report of the ignorant people living thereabouts.
This temple of the Egyptians, which Strabo describes, had no
roof; and therefore it would be absurd to place paintings in it, and
fine carvings of ivory, gold and marble, from the hand of Phidias,
or Praxiteles, as was the usage of the Greeks; whence Strabo takes
occasion to throw a sarcasm upon people that he would not have thought
so elegant as his countrymen. It is certain the Egyptians, as well as
our Celts, studied greatness and astonishment, beyond the nice and
curious; as is visible in all their works, such as the pyramids, the
obelisks, Pompey’s pillar, the monstrous _colossi_ and _sphynges_, of
which we have many accounts in writers, and many of their prodigious
works still left, which defy time by their magnitude, like our Celtic:
but the Greeks ought to be so grateful as to acknowledge by whom they
profited; for they learnt first from the Egyptians; nor will we deny
that they improved upon them. When Strabo mentions these roofless
temples, and walls covered with sculptures of large figures, and the
abundance of huge pillars set in many rows, who sees not the exact
conformity between this work, and that of Persepolis? and these
collections of pillars, though I suppose set in a square form, are no
other than our quincuple circle. I took notice too, that these temples
are set in such straggling order as ours here at Stanton Drue, and by
examination find that the two largest are at an angle of 20 degrees of
one another (I mean, their middle points, or centres) from the cardinal
line, or that which runs from east to west: here is likewise the same
number of five temples, and like diversity of number of stones, and
manner of forms in each, as of ours: the only difference consists
in the one being square, the other round; owing to the particular
notions of the two people, judging this, and that, most apt for sacred
structures. The work at Persepolis too is made upon an artificial
eminence, or pavement of most prodigious stones, instead of a natural
one, the ascent to which is by steps; which is enough to overthrow
any notion of a palace: but they that see not its intent, that it was
wholly a religious building, and that there is not one symptom of its
being a civil one, ought to be disregarded. All the sculptures are
religious, being processions of the priests to sacrifice; which has
nothing to do with a palace: the work of pillars never had a roof on
it, because of the flower-work at top: besides, there are no walls,
never were; and what the incurious spectators take for walls, are only
single stones set like those of our monument: and the doors are no
more than one stone laid across two more, as those of Stonehenge: the
mouldings of them go quite round; so that, had there been a wall, half
of them would have been covered. But it is lost time to speak any more
of that affair.
[Illustration: 79·2ᵈ.
_Stukeley d._
_A View at_ Stanton Drew]
I make no doubt but the name of Stanton Drue is derived from our
Monument; _Stanton_ from the stones, and _Drue_ from the Druids. It
moves not me, that some of the name of Drew might have lived here
formerly; for such a family might take the denomination of the town,
and, leaving out the first part, retain only that of Drew. It is
sufficient conviction, that there are so many other towns in England,
and elsewhere, that have preserved this name, and all remarkable for
monuments of nature. The number of the stones are 160.
