VOYAGE TO SPITZBERGEN. 21 



There is another in Fetlar, (one of the most re- 

 mote of the Shetland Isles,) in the form of a Ro- 

 man Camp, having in the middle a rectangular 

 area surrounded by a wall, and that by an earthen 

 rampart of the same figure. Vid. Plate, Pen. Arct.

Druidical circles of stones are also common here. 

 There have also been found swords made of the 

 bones of large fish, flint heads of arrows, flint hat- 

 chets, &c. 



In the Island of Unst are two curious sepulchral 

 circles. The largest consist of three concentric 

 circles, its greatest being fifty feet in diameter. 

 The outermost circle is formed of small stones, the 

 other two of earth. Through all these is a single 

 narrow entrance to a tumulus which stands in the 

 centre. 



The other circle is considerably less, and has on- 

 ly two rings made of earth. 



An extensive burying-place has also been dis- 

 covered in the Isle of Westra, by the violence of 

 the winds blowing away the sands which covered 

 the bodies twenty feet below the surface of the 

 earth. Near this are a great many graves, discov- 

 ered only by a few short upright stones set in the 

 level sand.
