In some instances these hearths were made on an overturned menhir, and other menhirs, which had belonged to the alignment, were fitted into the walls. A Roman road passes near Avebury, and, contrary to their general custom, the haughty conquerors had turned aside to avoid the tumulus.

The paintings which Aemilius Paulus brought from Greece required two hundred and fifty wagons to carry them in the triumphal procession.
