520			_a"The Age of Stonehenge" by Edward Duke is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This book addresses the ancient monument of Stonehenge, exploring its origins and age in relation to archaeological findings and historical theories. The author delves into the complexities surrounding the dating of this prehistoric site, challenging claims made by other historians regarding its construction. In the book, Duke argues that the age of Stonehenge predates the Roman occupation of Britain, presenting evidence from surrounding burial mounds (barrows) found in the area, all of which are established to be pre-Roman. He critiques the theories proposed by James Fergusson and others about a post-Roman origin, emphasizing that artifacts discovered at the site do not provide conclusive proof of this theory. Instead, he posits that Stonehenge served as a temple that reflects the spiritual practices of ancient Britons, specifically relating to sun worship. The author stresses the immense effort and motivation that would have been needed to build such a structure, suggesting that it was constructed for significant religious purposes rather than as a mere memorial.
