Funny you should say that, I feel rather that way. Looking at it all using his sketches is far more interesting than a modern guide. I think it might sober up quite a few of the people who go there for ANY reason to realise that his ilk started it. The meaning of the place for me, as a Druid, also owes its origins to his attempts to analyse the history of the place. I think he made one of the best mistakes in historical analysis ever, though arguably he was not wrong in his Iron Age assertions. Just reaching for the truth in the same way we still are. We just have the advantage of being able to reach further due to folks like him. Standing on the shoulders of Giants indeed...
