I have been for many years past engaged in Opening the numerous barrows about Stonehenge, Abury, and Everley, in Wilts; and you have been more fortunate in this one tumulus, than I have been in hundreds: nor have I in my museum more than one of the upright form, like those numbered 2, 3, 7, 12, 15, 92.
