that this boulder has been removed to its present position, although a long

In the parish of Lund, at the north end of the village, pi'incipally 

 in the village street, at the north side of the church, there are about 

 100 boulders, which are to be seen in the footpaths, foundations of 

 old houses, banks of the road, &c. : these are composed of whinstone, 

 diorite, hard compact sandstone, and granite, but the majority are whin- 

 stone. The largest is about 2 ft. long, 14 in. broad, and 9 in. thick ; the 

 smallest is about 9 in. thick, 8 in, broad, 7 iu. deep. Besides these are 

 several hundreds not more than 6 in. by 6 in. by 6 in., which have been 

 nsed for paving footpaths. They are all rounded to subangular. The 

 whole have been moved to their present position. The nearest rock of 

 the same nature would be about Cleveland in the north ; probably 100 

 miles north. Height, about 150 ft. above the sea. Boulders, more or less 

 small, of all sorts of foreign rocks are being continually cleared off the land 

 about here, and broken up for roads. There seems to be only a thin 

 covering of boulder clay in some parts, and underneath a great thickness 

 of rounded chalk gravel with flints, &c.
