- Summary:
- A gazetteer based on the author's practical field observations of most of the prehistoric standing stones in Great Britain and some "other stones" that post-date AD 1, with discussion of methodology and analysis. It also includes lists of 34 prehistoric standing stones known to be extant that he was not able to visit, of standing stones of unknown provenance, and of interesting other stones. Stone circles, long stone rows, burial chambers, and dolmens are excluded. Each entry cites the Ordnance Survey National Grid reference number for the site, to facilitate location in the field.--From the introduction, p. iii.
