Extract
The traditions concerning the antiquities of this country are surprisingly vague, and little to be depended on. There are indeed many remains which bear the stamp of the remotest times; such as the burial-places of which I am going to speak and the circles of stones which are still remaining on the mainland; but all that can be gathered is, that they were formerly held in veneration, but for what reason is not to be by their accounts investigated.
