In the second stone-work, one stone lies flat on the ground, along the middle line of the barrow. On each side a flat stone stands upright, and two flat stones stand upright at right angles, as wings to ’em. Upon them I suppose other stones were pil’d as a _kist-vaen_. Here probably lies the body of the interr’d. The stones are generally very large, about ten feet long. The whole I take to have been the palace and interment of an arch-druid, and his tribunal or seat of justice. ’Tis posited exactly enough south-east and north-west. The learned Mr. _Rowland_, who wrote the history of the _Isle of Mona_, describes just such works as this in that place, and calls them houses of the Druids. This place stands near a great cavity call’d _Balmore-pond_, which seems to have some regard to this work. ’Tis a pyriform concavity, set with stones on the inside. It answers exactly to _old chapel entrance_; and the people have a report that there is a vault under it. One would be tempted to think it was a prison, and the pond was the place of executions, being form’d theatrically. Otherwise it might be a place of sports and spectacles. ’Tis 150 cubits broad, 180 long, form’d like an _Amazonian_ shield. In a valley between here and _Rockley_, are nine round barrows of different bulk. And upon all the highest ground thereabouts are an infinite quantity of immense stones, or sarsens, or gray weathers, some of as large dimensions as any at _Abury_, and lying as thick as leaves in _autumn_. Some upon the very surface of the ground, some half sunk in; and many deep holes whence stones have been taken, are visible. If we descend the _Hakpen-hill_, westward from hence towards _Winterburn-basset_, upon the declivity of the _Hakpen_, is another Druid’s house, called too _Old Chapel_. ’Tis a square, double ditch’d, but small ditches, in the middle a broad oblong square bank. Before it a sort of court, nearly as big as the other. Near it, they say, they have found much old iron and pewter. It seems to have been set round with stones. There is another of these places in a delightful circular hollow, under the _Hakpen-hill_, on the west side, hanging over _Kennet_ avenue, just 180 cubits square. It lies on a northern declivity, for coolness as one may judge. The entrance is in the middle of the lowest side. But toward the upper side is another lesser oblong square, what we should call a _prætorium_ in a _Roman_ camp. And to this there was a distinct entrance on the south. ’Tis plac’d exactly north and south.
