520			_a"The most notable Antiquity of Great Britain, vulgarly called Stone-Heng, on Salisbury Plain" is a historical account written in the mid-17th century. The work focuses on the analysis and restoration of the ancient monument Stonehenge, while exploring its origins, construction, and the various theories surrounding its purpose. The author aims to clarify misconceptions regarding the monument's inception, particularly examining the involvement of the Druids and other ancient Britons in its creation. At the start of the treatise, the author, Inigo Jones, who served as the architect general to the king, expresses his fascination with architecture and the significance of Stonehenge as a remarkable piece of ancient engineering. He recounts how he was commissioned by the Earl of Pembroke to investigate the monument, reflecting on its grandeur and historical importance. The opening discusses various hypotheses about the builders of Stonehenge, suggesting that the Druids likely did not construct it, given their lack of architectural skills. Jones lays the groundwork for a thorough exploration of Stonehenge's history, seeking to provide a more accurate narrative of its creators while acknowledging the challenges in unraveling this ancient mystery.
