Excerpt from Hermes Britannicus: A Dissertation on the Celtic Deity, Teutates, the Mercurius of Caesar

If I shall have succeeded in throwing some additional light on the remains of the Druidical monuments in our island, particularly in that part where I have so long resided, Wiltshire it has been entirely accidental.

Having promised Sir Richard Hoare to furnish the history of one parish, that with which I am connected, as a contribution towards the great work of Topographical History, in the illustration of which he has set so noble an example, I could not pass over the vast Wansdyke, whose track over the highest point of the Downs, at ten miles distance, I see from my parlour window. This circumstance led me to consider more particularly the adjoining remains of our most stupendous Celtic monument at Abury.
