Synopsis
This book delves into the enigmatic world of ancient stone structures, often referred to as "Druidical," that dot the British landscape. The author embarks on a captivating journey to unravel the mysteries surrounding these silent monuments, seeking to illuminate their origins, purpose, and the people who erected them.
