Excerpt from Ireland and Scotland

There are many remains of antiquity scattered over the surface of this county. Of the Druidical, which are the most ancient, several very perfect and interesting remnants exist. On the hills of Killiney is a Druidical circle, enclosing the rude chair of the Arch-druid, and the sacrificing stone and altar, where it is believed that human victims were immolated.

Besides this curious Specimen of Druidic ceremonies, there are cromlechs and rocking stones in several places in the county. An interesting specimen of the former remains at Brennan's town, and of the latter, at Bullock.
