"At a place called Moniquil is a Small Circle of Small Stones
placed close to each other: whether a little druidical place
of worship, or of assembly; or whether a family place of
Sepulture, as is usual with the Northern nations, is not
easy to determine. If an urn is found in the centre of this
coronet. as is not uncommon, the doubt will cease."
