In other places the holes are arranged 
in circles as below, with one hole of the 
largest size in the centre, a circle of holes 
of , the_ "second size about this, a semi- 
circular row of holes of the same size in 
front (east or south), and around all 
again an outer row of smaller ones (not 
shown in the diagram). 
The ellijDtical arrangements of holes are most common 
and elaborate. They are, moreover, on a much more exten- 
sive scale than either the oblongs or circles. The largest 
measures 16 1 yards in length and 13 yards in breadth. 
Down the middle line (north and south) runs a straight row 
of five 12 -inch holes ; around this stretches the inner elHpse 
of 8-inch holes, while outside of all extends a third row of 
the smaller holes. In front, facing south, runs the usual 
semi- circular line. 
Although the largest, the above is by no means the 
most elaborate of the 
ellipses. Some 50 yards 
to the north of the Fan- 
davula Metta is a smaller 
hill, upon the surface of 
which is an ellipse of 
curious conformation. 
On its major axis, run- 
ning east and west, are 
three holes a, b, and c, of 
the largest size. About 
the hole a, as a centre, 
the rock has been cut 
down in circidar form as 
indicated by the dotted 
line as though by the 
revolution of a stone slab
