(1754-1810). British antiquary who, like his contemporary Colt Hoare, recorded and excavated many barrows and other prehistoric monuments in southern England, especially on Salisbury Plain. His excavations were of good quality for the time, but his work lacked the framework of a classificatory system, such as was later provided by the Three Age System.
