Extract

The stone I have now the honour of laying before you for your inspection, was found some years ago on ploughing some new inclosed pasture ground, near Spurnston, in the parish of St. Cuthbert, Carlisle, in a little hillock, or raised piece of ground, about four yards one way, and three the other, a little above a foot in height, consisting entirely of earth.
