In this illustrated study of Stonehenge, rediscover Britain’s most enigmatic monument, not as a ruin of primitive builders, but as a sacred temple constructed by the Druids in alignment with celestial forces.

Long before modern archaeology took shape, William Stukeley sought to uncover the spiritual and cultural significance of Stonehenge. Combining meticulous field observation with classical sources and mystical philosophy, this volume explores the monument’s geometry, symbolism, and astronomical alignments. First published in 1940, Stukeley’s Stonehenge, though speculative by modern standards, was groundbreaking in its time and helped to revive interest in Druidry, sacred landscape, and the spiritual heritage of prehistoric Britain.

William Stukeley (1687-1765) was an Anglican clergyman and pioneer in the scholarly investigation of Stonehenge. Fascinated by the prehistoric monument, he was one of the first to speculate the date of the site and to make accurate illustrations. Referring to Stonehenge as a temple of the British Druids, this book details the monument’s cultural importance throughout history and places it in the context of eighteenth-century Protestant England.
