*tlemanof the Village (one Mr Charles Campbel) obferving 
that under the green Turf this Mount was wholly com- 
pofed of Stones, and having oceafion for fome, employ’d 
bis Servants to carry off a confiderahle Parcel of them 5 
till they came at laft to a very broad flat Stone, rudely 
Carved, and placed edgewife at the Bottom of the 
Mount. This they- difcover’d to be the Door of a 
Cave, which had a long Entry leading into it. At the 
firft entering we were forced to creepy but {fill as we 
went on, the Pillars on each fide of us were higher and 
higher 5 and coming into the Cave, we found it about 
20 Foot high. In this Cave, on each hand of us was 
a Cell or Apartment, and an other went on {freight for- 
ward oppofite to the Entry. In thofe on each hand 
was a very broad (hallow Bafon of Stone, fituated at the 
Edge. The BafoD in the Right Hand Apartment flood in 
another $ That on the Left hand was Angle 5 and in rhe 
Apartment ftraight forward there was none at all. We 
obferved that Water dropt into the right hand Bafon, 
tho’ it had rained but little in many Days 3 and fufped- 
ed tjjat the lower Bafon was intended to preferve the 
fuperfluous Liquor of the upper, (whether this Water 
were Sacred, or whether it was for Blood in Sacrifice J 
that none might come to the Ground. The great Pil- 
lars round this Cave, fupporting the Mount, were not 
at all hewn or wrought 5 but were fuch rude Stones as 
thofe of Abury in Wiltjhire , and rather more jude than 
‘thofe of Stonehenge : But thofe about the Bafons, and 
fome el few here, had fuch Barbarous Sculpture (viz. Spiral 
like a Snake, but without diftintfion of Head and Tail) 
as the fore-mentioned Stone at the Entry of the Cave. 
There was no Flagging nor Floor to this Entry nor 
Cave $ but any fort of loofe Stones every where under 
Feet. They found feveral Bones in the Cave, and part 
©f a Stags (or elfe Elks) Head, and fome other things, 
which l otififx beetle the Labourers differ’d in their
