" Round about the Grafie, {sp. on the edge or border of it) are 

 pitched on end huge stones, as big, or rather bigger than those at 

 Stoneheng: but rude and unhewen as they are drawn out of the 

 earth : — whereas those at Stoneheng are roughly-hewen. Most of 

 the stones thus pitched on end, are taken away : only here and 

 there doe still remain some curvilineous segments : but by these 

 one may boldly conclude, that heretofore they stood quite round 

 about, like a Crowne ;
