| gravel, and water-worn stones. The | ||||||
| ground on each side of it being a | ||||||

| sible, but when the Hill was removed | ||||||

| dryed all the Wells, in the neighbourhood, and | ||||||
| also the "bog", which is now to |
||||||
| This spring has been covered, and pipes | ||||||
| + excepting the end next the village, where a | laid from it to a ditch on the east side | |||||
| a few Cottages, and gardens, are situate, – | along which, a copious flow of water | |||||
| I could not ascertain why it was called | constantly discharges itself. | |||||

| remains rises very little about the general surface + | ||||||
