ANCIENT REMAINS AT GUATEMALA. 161 



It remains to be added that several of the six-sided stones 

 had been removed, and that one was standing on the mound 

 due north of the large mound, also that the lines of stones 

 and mounds did not run due north and south but about five 

 degrees west of north, which is precisely the same variation 

 that is found at " Arthur's Hall " in Cornwall. No ditches and 

 no entrances to the enclosures are mentioned, and there are none* 

 at "Arthur's Hall," which is one of the most puzzling features 

 of that remarkable structure. The sizes of the two enclosures 

 mentioned first, and the shapes and compass bearings of all 

 three, are extremely like those of "Arthur's Hall," but although 

 Arthur's Hall has stones along the interior of its mound, it does 

 not appear that there are any inside the Guatemalan enclosures, 

 except one stone at the north end of the largest. Mr. 

 Williamson, it will be remembered, was of opinion that the 

 enclosures had not been fortifications, but considered them to 

 have been places of worship. 



* There does appear to be an entrance at Arthur's Hall, according to some 

 observers. — Ed.
