"At Maregrioch there are two columns
about 30 feet distant. Between them there is a parallel
row of smaller stones forming a parallelogram about 4 feet
wide. At a little distance a smaller area is enclosed in a similar manner
& The larger is said to be the grave of one of Fingal's heroes:
the Smaller that of his dog. Both were opened some time
since, but found to contain nothing but dust and stones.
Instead of the side stones forming the parallelogram being replaced
in their former situation as interesting monuments of Antiquity
all that could be removed were carried away for building"
