Those who think that archæology must be dull, should read his racy satire at the expense of poor Stukeley. One of his suggestions is that Long Meg, or perhaps the Grey Yauds circle, may be a memorial of King Arthur's battle in the Caledonian Forest. The best opinion is that of Mr. W. C. Lukis, who thinks that the object, in the first instance, was that of burial-places; that they were formed before the Roman invasion; while Mr. Arthur Evans assigned to Stonehenge an approximate date of 450 B.C. [3] The exact wording is:--"Near the head of which (the Lowther) is a well which, like Euripus, ebbs and flows several times in a day," a much less remarkable thing. Apparently Mr. Bland's informant has misquoted in conversation. The second edition of Camden's _Britannia_ (1723) comments that this phenomenon is not infrequent in rocky country, and not usually lasting; and that there was then no ebbing fountain to be heard of near Shap. [4] This idea is that of Stukeley; it had, at the time, a very large following, but is now rejected. ANCIENT BURYING PLACES. The remains next under consideration are the cairns or burial mounds. These have been very numerous on the high grounds and unenclosed moors around the source of the Lyvennet. Thirty or forty may still be found perched upon the highest peaks, or otherwise on commanding situations, others on the overhanging banks of the streams, while some have been placed without any characteristic choice of site. Some of these bear significant names or more often the name is applied to an extended area of the hill or plain on which they are found; and others there are with which no name can be connected. The word _How_, Danish--a hill, is generally significant of a mound, but is often applied to the whole, as Sill _How_, Raise _How_, Bousfield _How_, _How_ Arcles, _How_ Neuk and _How_ Robin; on each of which are mounds. _Raise_ is an older word of similar meaning, and is applied more directly to a mound, as _Raise_ How on Bank Moor. This name is more common in the neighbourhood of Shap. _Pen_, of Cambro-Celtic origin, having the same meaning, is found in _Pen_hurrock. Others again bear the ordinary name of _Hill_, as Iren _Hill_, Round _Hill_, &c. Though these mounds have been raised by different people each in their day, yet they are often found to have been named or rather called _Hills_ by whatever word in the language or dialect of the succeeding races expressed the same. Others again there are bearing names peculiar to themselves, as _Iren_ Hill, _Sill_ How, _Hollinstump_, Pen_hurrock_, Robin Hood's Grave, Lady's Mound, &c. Though they are numerous, yet many of them have been opened by the hill-breakers of the last century, or been more or less ravaged for the sake of stones, earth, &c.; for this reason it is difficult to distinguish those belonging to different ages, though it is highly probable the great majority are British.
