l8 EXCURSION raoM hai^lech 



prcjuclicep., and difagreeable Affociations of ideas,

After this dreary fcene, we entered a more wide 

 and fertile valley, called Cwm Nancoll, The Hollow 

 of the funken Brook. From hence the guide took 

 mc, out of the ufual track, to fee a cromlech^ in a 

 farm called Gwern Einion. This cromlec|i is about 

 tv/o miles fouth of Harlech. It is at prefent made 

 to form the corner of a wall, and is, on two fides,

 getting through. There are fix fupporters, three 

 about fix feet, and the pther three about four feet 

 in height. The ftone that reds upon thefe is large^

 I heard, from the fide of the hill on which we were 

 vvalking, the falling of water in a wood on the 

 oppofite mountains, and apparently about half a 

 mile from us. I could alfo, notwithftanding the 

 diftance, plainly perceive a filver line among the 

 trees, formed by the rufliing of water down a pre- 

 cipice. The guide, in anfwer to my queilions re-

 height or beauty, and if it had a name he was 

 not acquainted with it. My walk of this day had 

 been very long and laborious, near twenty miles,
