The graphic below is a scan composite of 6 scans combined into one by Andis Kaulins of a large survey map of the Stonehenge Barrows found in the book, Stonehenge and its Barrows, by William Long, 1876, Devizes, from the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, vol. xvi.

As the first entry in the list of illustrations to the book, the map is listed as the page "To face Title, and is identified as the "Map of Stonehenge and its Environs, from Sir R. C. Hoare's "Ancient Wiltshire," vol. i."

The circle of stones that we know as modern Stonehenge is located in the middle as a small double circle. See the Stonehenge Barrows Astronomical Interpretation for the exact location. The barrows are marked as dark round dots on the map, which extends about two miles left and right in each direction and about one and a half miles each to top and bottom.
