The work explores the significance and architecture of ancient Druidic temples in Britain, particularly focusing on the site of Abury (Avebury) and its connections to the early patriarchal religion. The text delves into the origins of such structures, how they relate to ancient religious practices, and discusses their architectural features and cultural importance. The opening of this volume introduces the reader to Stukeley's dedication to Lord Pembroke and outlines his intentions behind the exploration of British Druidic sites. Stukeley emphasizes the urgency of documenting these ancient monuments before they are lost to time, highlighting their connection to the original patriarchal religion instituted by figures such as Abraham. He sets the stage for a deeper investigation into the various types of Druid temples, their designs, functions, and the relationship between these structures and historical religious practices. This introduction encompasses both a personal commitment to understanding the antiquities and a call to action to preserve their significance in the face of modern ignorance.
