Cairn of Sheils (continued) [continued from page 23]
Seasons; in honor of their God Bal, the Sun, the same as the scripture Baal; And whom they worshiped likewise, in groves. (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] P. [Page] 35)
All that remains of this object is a large heap of loose Stones, evidently what have composed the Cairn referred to as Druidical. The word Sheils appears to be modern, and applies more to the knap on which the Cairn is situated.
