fame kind of pillars in a low hill ; I obferved both 
hexagons and pentagons. 
The rocks towards the fea appeared as if they were 
formed in the fame manner ; but when I came to 
them, I found it was only common rock in feveral 
ftrata, and perpendicular joints. 
I went on about two miles to a peninfula called 
Donfeverik, where I faw fome tendency in the rock 
towards this work of nature ; and going about half a 
mile farther, came to the beginning of the pillars in 
the fea-cliff, as I believe, about five miles from the 
caufeway: and the fhore and cliffs being fiiap’d

fomething like the ruins of Palmyra, as a view of 
them is reprefented in a copper plate, publifhed in the 
Philqfophical Tranfaffiions. 
This wonderful work of nature is continued on in 
the cliffs for about a quarter of a mile beyond the 
Giant's Caufeway. 
I faw it again in the road to Coleraine, five miles 
to the weft of the Caufeway, in a low hill a furlong 
to the fouth of the road, and two miles to the fouth 
of the fea. The pillars here are fmall • and being 
about a mile and a half from Ballimagarry, where 
the earl of Antrim has a ruin’d ’houfe, lately burnt 
down, it ferv’d, as I fuppofe, as a quarry for build- 
ing part of that houfe, in which I faw a great num- 
ber of the ftones, and particularly one of nine fides. 
I faw others near two miles farther, to the fouth of
