126 | A small circular mound or knoll which was formerly covered with wood, but all the trees have been cut down except a row round its edge. Its centre is only about four feet higher than the general surface surrounding it, it does not, consequently admit of shading, the slop being so slight. It is evidently artificial, and is believed in the neighbourhood to be a mote or justice seat of former times. At its eastern edge is a large stone standing upright, 5 feet high, 2 wide and one in thickness, on which is an inscription but so much effaced that it is impossible to make out the meaning. It is not Druidical, but is very possibly coeavl with the object on which it sits, this however, is a mere conjecture, as there is no one to give a decided opinion regarding its origin, neither is there any tradition associated with it. There is little doubt to its being an antiquity. |

Note. As the word Roundills means taller the article 'The' is prefixed to render it a proper name.
Roundel - a table, a board - Jamiesons's Dictionary
The object being called Roundel perhaps
from its fanciet resemblance to a table
it being raised above the surface of the
Surrounding plain.
