Extract

On behalf of Mr. Newall and myself I am making the 6th Report on the work carried out at Stonehenge which covers the season of 1924. The excavations were continued in a similar way to those of the previous year by making a succession of trenches between the rampart and the standing stones, beginning this time near no. 12 Aubrey hole and continuing towards the west. In the previous year a quadrant from north-east to south-east was searched, and it was determined to complete another quadrant from the south-east to the south-west.

page 10 note 1 When stones have had an incline, the incline has always been found with a sharp drop at the end of it, usually about a foot. It was here that the packing with stone blocks was done. We spoke of a low stone wall when mentioning the eastern holes 7, etc. In the case now mentioned there was no space for inserting the packing blocks, so the incline was filled up and rammed forthwith.
