The Groundplot of the work, as it now stands, countersigned with the
same Letters by which the Plant marked _Nu. 2_ is described. The stones
of the greater _Hexagon_, and outward circle, after so long contest
with the violence of time, and injury of weather, are for the most part
standing at this day; which, though not all at their full height, as
when first set up, yet the Footsteps neverthelesse, of so many of them
as exprest in the _Design_, are still remaining in their proper places.
Those of the inner circle, and lesser _Hexagon_, not only exposed to
the fury of all devouring Age, but to the rage of men likewise, have
been more subject to ruine. For, being of no extraordinary proportions,
they might easily be beaten down, or digged up, and at pleasure, made
use of for other occasions. Which, I am the rather enduced to beleeve,
because, since my first measuring the work, not one fragment of some
then standing, are now to be found.
