The bulletin  

«The Bulletin,” Vol. 71 —No. 365  

Wednesday, March 15, 1950  

Price 6d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Jeppelts  

pROM cast, west, north and south the  

oldest trackways of southern England  

all converge towards Salisbury Plain,  

vast expanse of rolling hills and wind-  

swept grasslands which is still probably  

little changed in appearance from pre-  

historic times. No other part of Britain  

is so redolent with mystery, so deeply  

charged with the spirit of the past. Here  

are to be found Stonehenge, Silbury Hill  

and Avebury Circle and over two  

thousand “barrows,” which clearly indi-  

cate the sacred associations this district  

must have had for prehistoric man.  

Stonehenge is, of course, the most  

famous prehistoric relic in Britain, but  

it is surpassed in size by Avebury Circle,  

near Marlborough, which is the largest  

monument of its kind in the world. It  

was constructed probably by the same  

people who built Stonehenge, and it has  

been compared to the latter “as  

cathedral to parish church.” The  

Circle, which is three-quarters of mile  

circumference, is composed of enor-  

mous unhewn blocks of stone. Within it  

are two smaller circles, the innermost  

avmg in its centre single standing  

stone weighing about sixty tons. Sur-  

rounding the whole monument is vast  

ampart of earth fifteen feet high and with  

fh- tC ° SSe wb ieh was originally  

sCet5 Cet dee on ts inner side, thus
