"On close examination there are yet carved characters traceable, the sides of which more particularly would seem to represent a chain," - "The stone referred to, was, it is supposed, removed from its site shewn on trace, to make a Foot-bridge across the Stream a little South of the present Site:" Gd. J. Morgan, CA [Civilian Assistant] |
