027.12 | The remains of an ancient Cairn on the summit of Pit Hill, it is composed of small stones, which are completely overgrown with grass, its present height from the general surface is about 4 feet, although it is evident that in its original state it was much higher. it is circular, 52 [feet] in diameter at base, and 20 ft [feet] at top. Nothing is known in the locality in reference to this antiquity, but it is generally supposed to be a Druidical place of worship, but its appearance will barely confirm this supposition. There is no trace of the large circle of stones mentioned in the Statistical Account. |
