[Trigonometrical] Station on the Summit, and from its present Appearance would Seem to have been Originally Surrounded by a Parapet of earth, as the remains are in some places still visible. This Mote is Said to have been, at an early period, the place where the Chiefs and Freeholders met together to transact Public Affairs and to Administer justice. Several executions, it is also Said, took place here.
