213 | In a field immediately to the S.E. [South East] of Glennrisdall farm house there is a round mound or hillock with loose stones about. There is also the bottom and sides of two stone cists or coffins the one in the centre of the circle being 3 feet long 3 feet Deep and 2½ feet broad and the one on the outer edge a little larger but the coverings are not to be found. Mr McKellar one of the authorities quoted states that the circle was much larger at one time but a great many of the stones were removed by him when cultivating the soil. It is not known if any relicts were ever found. "There is at Glenristle near Claonaig Church a Druidical Circle very entire and of the usual formation". "New Stat: [Statistical] Account" |
