Long then delves into the physical structure of the monument, describing the various stones and their placement, as well as the surrounding earthworks and ditches.The second half of the book focuses on the barrows, which are located in the immediate vicinity of Stonehenge. Long provides a detailed account of the excavation of these mounds, including the artifacts and human remains found within them. He also explores the possible significance and purpose of the barrows, including their relationship to Stonehenge.Throughout the book, Long draws on a wide range of sources, including archaeological reports, historical accounts, and his own observations and measurements.
