062 The remains of which is traditionally said to be a Druidicial Temple, it consists of three stones, two of which are upright the other inclining at an angle of about 45° towards the south. This inclination is probably caused more from natural than artificial causes, the same might be said of the little cavities which appear on its most exposed face.
"About two miles north of the church, in a very elevated situation, between the farms of East and West Cuilt, there is a small Druidical circle. Beside it are two larger stones, deeply sunk in the ground; the top of the lowest is artifically formed into an inclined plane, facing the south, and contains a number of small cavities, which may have been used by the Druids in the performance of religous rites."
