Summary

"Rough Stone Monuments and Their Builders" by T. Eric Peet is a book that looks at big stone structures, especially in England, and discusses their importance in architecture and culture many years ago. Peet's purpose is to explain these monuments, like Stonehenge, and link them to similar structures all over the world. He talks about what makes a structure "megalithic," listing types like menhirs and dolmens, and describes how they were built, while contemplating the societies that built them. This introduction is a setup to a big investigation into how these stone monuments look, where they are found, and what they mean culturally.
