052 | "From the circle in a Southeast direction, an artificial paved road Could be traced to the distance of at least Six hundred yards through a bog, which, at the further end, was about Six yards wide, but near twenty yards when it approached within fifty yards of the circle, and here the paving was covered with ashes. The stones of the pavement were not squared, but very neatly fitted into each other" vide - Statistical Account. 1843. Page 449 - Although stated here to lead in a "Southeast direction" no information can be obtained now to that effect, nor has any vestige been seen within the memory of the oldest inhabitant in the neighbourhood to indicate its course in that direction, but it is believed to have gone in the direction of another "stone Circle" which shows it leading in a northeast direction |
