near it; a vemarkabie concufhon of ground was 
occafioned by the circumftance. ‘Ihree of the 
five trilithons (or pairs of ftones at the weftern 
énd, with their impofis) of which the ady:um 
ef the ftruure originally confifted, fell flat 
weftward, levelling alfo, in their defcent to the 
ground, a ftone of the fecond circle, that ftood 
juft in the line of their precipitation. The two 
other trilithons remain in their original pofition, 
One of the trilithons in the inner circle had long 
been obferved to decline from its true perpendi- 
cular, The ftones which fell were feven feet 
- ° e ‘ayo . 
eight inches wide, three feet thick, and twenty 
and a half long, of which four feet and a half 
were always under-ground. On the top of thefe 
ftones were femi-globular tenons, of eighteen 
inches diameter, made to fit mortices in a cap- 
ftone, which is laid acrofs them; that ftone is 
fixteén fect in length, four fect nine inches in 
width, and three feet in thicknefs. From the 
Jower ends of the fupporters being now expofed 
to view, their prior depth in the ground is fa- 
tisfactorily afcertained, fix feet. The deftruc- 
tion of any part of this grand oval is a circum- 
ftance to be regretted, as it c.etained the moft 
gigantic materials of the whole ftrudture. Re- 
peated moifture, and particularly the rapid 
thaw which fucceeded the late decp {now, hac, 
in all probability, fapped the foundation. No 
account is upon record of the falling of the other 
parts ; and, perhaps, previoufly to this tremen- 
dous downfall, no alteration in the ftrufture 
had taken place forthe three laft centurics. The 
impoft, which is the {malleft of the three flones, 
weighs about thirty tons! and does not appear 
to have received any injury by the fall.
