Note 631 — Chapter VI · THE ORIENTATION OF GRAVES
Reading edition
Sir J. N. Lockyer’s theories have been adversely criticized by T. Rice Holmes, Ancient Britain, pp. 472-82; by C. W. Dymond, in Antiquary, N.S., IV. pp. 447-9; Edinburgh Review, CLXXX. 1894, pp. 418-432; A. R. Hinks in Nineteenth Century, LIII. 1903, pp. 1002-9. Among papers upholding the theory, see J. Griffith, in Nature, LXXIX. pp. 36-7; LXXX. pp. 69-72; J. Gray, in Nature, LXXIX. pp. 236-8. Mr Gray thinks that our stone circles were raised by a race which came from Asia during the Bronze Age—probably that of Akkadian type. See also A. L. Lewis, in Jour. Royal Anthrop. Inst., XXIX. 1909, pp. 517-29, dealing with Irish Cromlechs; E. Plunket, in Nineteenth Century, 1911, pp. 1036-53.
