and not far from the gigantic Dolmen of Kerconno. The destination 
of this square I can simply guess at, and suppose that it served the 
same purpose as the circle. 
There are a few stone circles in Yorkshire, on which I wish to 
make two or three observations. My attention was drawn to them 
very.recently by reading in the newspaper an extract from Mr. 
Wardell’s “ Historical Notices of Ilkley, Rombald’s Moor, and 
Baildon Common.” His description is not quite accurate. From 
_his account, I expected to find near the Horncliffe shooting-house, 
on Hawksworth Moor, a small circle of upright stones, enclosed in 
a second circle of stones set on edge, whereas I found a structure not 
closely answering this description. There are very few stones set on 
edge, and I think that originally very few, if any, of the others 
were so set, and there is no inner circle. There are a few small 
stones about a modern excavation in the centre, but they appear to 
have been thrown there at random. The larger number of the 
encircling stones have the appearance of having been laid flat, one 
on the other, in the form of a wall. The stones are generally small 
(two to three feet in length), and the greatest diameter of the area, 
which is of irregular shape, is about thirty feet. 'The monument is 
called in the ordnance map “ Druidical circle.” 
A second structure, resembling the former, marked on the map as 
“ site of a tumulus,” is at a few yards distance south of the shooting- 
house, on Burley Moor. Here more of the stones are set on edge, 
' and outside of them is a bank of earth and stones, about five feet 
wide, against which they rest. + 
A third monument, described by Mr. Wardell, is at a distance of 
two-thirds of a mile west from this shooting-house ; and is a small 
circle as compared with those I have described as existing in Britanny, 
the diameter being about forty-seven feet, and the highest stone 
three feet three inches above the ground. This structure is of a 
different character from the other two, and was probably destined to 
serve the same purposes, whatever they were, as those in Britanny. 
I should be inclined to look upon the two other circular inclosures 
as being the remains of dwellings, 7.e., of hut-circles.
