17 Parish of Creich Plan 5B Trace 4.[Quotation] "A few chains N.W. [North West] of the Manse are two concentric circles of stones with one stone in the centre. These stones were found in a field in the course of ploughing in the year 1817 and were found under the surface in the same position in which they are here placed. There were other circles of stones found in the same neigbourhood besides some isolated stones with some emblematic devices or hieroglyphics all underneath the surface & all indicating some remarkable work of very remote antiquity but the design of which seems very unintelligible. The above stones are all that is preserved of these remnants of antiquity. See Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] page 641"
Transcriber's notes
The writer places the Authority Revd. Lawson at Kilmany, whereas on previous pages - and this one he appears to reside at Creich. On subsequent pages he eliminates the reference to "Reverend" but continues to insert Kilmany.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
