Abstract

The first druidical remain which I shall mention, is called the Rocking-Stone, and two different views thereof are exhibited at No 1 and 2 of the etched plate attending these remarks. It is situated so as to be a boundary mark between the two townships, Golcar and Slaighthwait in the parish of Huddersfield, on what is called Golcar-Hill, and gives the name of Hole-Stone Moor to the adjoining grounds. The size of it is about ten feet and a half long, nine feet four or five inches broad, and five feet three inches thick. It rests on so small a center, that at one particular point, a man may cause it to rock, though it has been damaged a little in this respect by some masons, who endeavoured to discover the principle on which so large a weight was made to move.
