[written under Druids Temple]
I have seen this place, and also consulted with James Pate
who removed the stones, which were largest, from the middle
of the Cairn, the place probably where internment took place.
The object is manifestly the remains of a Cairn of Stones
of which, portions of the heap still remain.- These were are
stones removed of the character of large unhewn masses such
as not found in Druidical Circles. [very unsure of this sentence]
