^{page 217 note [a]} At the distance of about a mile to the northward of the last mentioned rocking stone, on the southern inclination of a hill, are various large masses of stone, placed in an angular figure; but as no certainty could be derived from inspection, or any tradition or name obtained from the inhabitants to lead to probable conjecture, we mull leave them in silence; though their very singular appearance assures us they were artificially placed in that figure, on some notorious occasion. In another place a very large stone is seen on a basis of rock on an elevated station. This seems to have been laid open by taking down the sides of the eminence and the loose earth, till the stone was wholly discovered with the plain on which it rests. Such labour was certainly performed to leave the stone a monument of some remarkable event, or as an object of worship.

Mr. Pennant, in his Tour, passing from Kendale to Lancaster, takes no notíce of Warton, or any of the antiquities in its vicinity. West, in his Guide to the Lakes, calls the works on Warton Crag, a square encampment.
