Professor Stuart Piggott ends his admirable study of William Stukeley with these words: 'It was a Druidic dream-world which has left an oddly tangible relic today in the Welsh Eisteddfod with its Gorsedd Circle, invented by Iolo Morganwg in response to romantic Welsh patriotism a century or so ago, but in the end to be derived from Stukeley ...'. When I pointed out to Professor Piggott that, in this form, his statement was not strictly accurate, he suggested that a brief note on the Welsh Eisteddfod and Gorsedd would prove of value
