Reference note

Image printed on p. 501.
    Rectangular wooden printing block showing:- Obverse: carved and engraved design depicting site plan of Higher Trevorian "stone circle" in Cornwall and its surrounding monuments, which are denoted by typed captions. Ink residue remaining on surface. Reverse: 'Antiq' handwritten in pencil on surface, between two strips of printer's waste paper.
    Though identified as a stone circle in the publication source, it is no longer standing and has been speculated to be either an Iron Age round or Bronze Age enclosure of some kind.
