100 | "Are situated between the top of Lingafiold and the Loch of Clumly, which are worthy of the antiquarian's notice, and which are supposed to be a Cromlich or heathen altar, Indeed, the figure that, with the head stone in the hundred and fifteinth plate of the Enclyclopoedia Britannica, published in 1797 might pass for a representation of this monument before the displacing of its pillars, (The slab of Via is a foot thick, 5 feet 10 inches long, and 4 feet 9 inches broad, The four pillars under it are each about 3 feet long, and the head stone 3 feet 9 inches by 2 feet 9 on the surface, and 1 foot 4 thick, It is placed nearly in the centre of an old circular enclosure, 275 paces in circumference, with a small tumulus on the south side of it, which was lately opened but nothing found in it, except a parcel of large stones."
