STONEHENGE - UNDER. REPAIR.

SAFEGUARDING THE PREHISTORIC 'MONUMENT..

Such a catastrophe as that, which Dccurred at Stonehenge on December 30, 1900, when one of the outer trili- thons with its lintel was blown down

daring a severe storm, is never likely. we are glad to think, to happen again.: says The Observer. The great prehis toric monument is now being carefully safeguarded against any further col- lapse or decay.

For many years some of the stones have been leaning at dangerous angles. A month or so before the armistice Stonehenge was handed over 10. the care of the nation, and when the war anded, and it was possible to think of ancient monuments again, one of the first things was to make a thiough survey and to report on each stone, noting its character and its fis- sures and holes, seeing exactly how much it was over leaning, and formu- Lating a programme for securing stability

The Ancient Monuments Board of the Office of Works, acting in con- junction with the "Society of Anti- queries, agreed upon a scheme of j restoration, a representative of the society being always on the spot to superintend the work of excavation.

During the past two months two vertical stones and one lintel have been made perfectly secure. Anemion is now. being given to four other vertical¦. stenes, and three lintels. There is also under considerarion a proposal forį putting into an upright position some of the stones that fell ages ago. Nothing, however, will be done with- Our authoritative approval: ****The work of preservation is being carried out under the direction of Si Frank Baines, Director of Works. To protect the stones which are being restored to their correct position, a packing of timber with thick layers of felt. is used. The lintel, which is, cradled in a similar way, is lifted of by a crane and lowered very carefully to the ground. The weight of these lintels is about five. tons, and that of the vertical stones in the outer ring twenty tons.

After the listel is removed, the ground round the vertical stones is. outlined into squares of twelve jnches. Inside these squares the earth is taken out to a depth of about six inches at a time and passed through a sieve, so that no object of interest .shall escape attention. A Roman coin, numerous. stone implements, and wooden stakes driven into the carth for the purpose, presumably, of keeping the stones. apright have been excavated. Noth-·| ing, however, has yet been ind which throws any new light upon the) actual origin of the monument,

The trilithons are usually set in the earth at a depth of three or four feet. The excavation follows down the line of the original hole, and when this work is completed there is the process of moving back the stone into a per- pendicular position. Steel joists are -attached--16– protecting framework."|-

four screw jacks are placed beneath fhem, and gently, just a fraction of an inch at a time, the stone is lowered back imo its original place. Having obtained from the earth, all the evi- dence of origin that can possibly be found, the base is then filled in with

concrete.

Beyond the circle of stones are the raised banks and ditch which follow the line of the circle. Here, too,.a certain amount of excavation has been done, with the result thar a series of; holes has been found which,, presum- sbly, at some period contained other stones.

A few hundred yards away is an aerodrome which, we are informed, absolutely daaris Stonehenge and Some other spoils. the look of it," position might well be found for a station so lile in harmony with an- cient surroundings.
