Stonehenge: Any Puritan references?

[Puritan Sailor]

There's a lot of specualtion the last few decades on what Stonehenge was. I was curious if anyone knew of any Puritan references to the landmark? Just curious if they speculated about it as much as we do today.

You might try searching on ccel.org.

I looked through a couple of results an found this:
Spurgeon: "If you would firmly believe in the conversion of the heathen remember what your fathers were when bloody rites were performed in the oak woods or amid the huge monoliths of Stonehenge. The Druidic system was as cruel and degrading as any that now curses a savage people; but the heralds of Jesus conquered. Where are the gods of the Druids now?"

Making a comeback! It was not that long ago a wedding prog followed four (?) different couples one of which was a druid with a pagan service (?)
