An Account of the Giants Cauf- 
way in the North of Ireland : "By 
the Reverend T>r. Sam. Foley. 
TH E Giants Caufway is placed by Mr. Cole in the 
annexe Map of the Sea-Coaft of the Diftrift of 
Colerain^ fomewhat more than Eight .Englifli Miles 
North-Eaft from the Town of Colerain^ in the County 
of Antrim^ about Three EngUfli Miles from the Bu/h- 
Mills , almoft direftly North. It runs from the bot- 
tom of an high Hill into the Sea, no Man can tell how 
far, but at low-water the length of it is about 600 Foot, 
and the breadth of it in the broadeft place 140 Foot , 
in the narroweft ixo Foot : It is very unequal likewife 
in the height, in fome places it is about 36 Foot high 
from the level of the Strand, and in other places about 
I J Foot. 
It confifts of many Thoufands of Pillars, which ftand 
moil of them Perpendicular to the Plain of the Ho- 
rizon clofe to one another, but we could not difcern 
whether they do run down under Ground like a Quar- 
ry or no. As to the Number of the Pillars, we could 
not gueis that they are fewer than One Hundred Thou- 
fand ; but the feape of the Caufway is fo irregular, 
that we could not number the Columns of one fide 
or end, in order to make a probaole Computation of 
them all ; fome are very long, and higher than the refl , 
others Jhort and broke ; fome for a pretty large fpace of 
an equal height^ Jo that their tops make an even plain 
Surface^ many of them imperfe^i:, cracked, and irregular ; 
ethers entire, uniform^ and hand fome, and rhefe of dif- 
ferent lhapcs aad fizc^ : We found non€ at all Square,
