Excerpt from The Kansas City Review, Vol. 9: Devoted to Science, the Arts, the Industry and Literature; October, 1885

As may be seen from the illustra tion, which represents the work as restored, the most imposing part of the fabric consisted of the center el lipse within the circle, formed of ten blocks, in pairs, from sixteen to twen ty-two feet in height, each pair fur nished with an impost, and so ar ranged as to form five trilithons. Of these, eight still remain. Within this ellipse is the inner oval compos ed of twenty upright stones, Similar in size to those of the inner circle, elev en of which are still standing. In the cell thus formed and near the curve of the inner ellipse was the large slab of blue marble, called the sacrificial stone. Our illustration showing the ground plan will afford a good conception of the two circles and the two ellipses.
