This placeis called the Chateleys, and is an immense tongue of land,which rests on a gigantic perpendicular basement, yards elevation. On the margin of this region, at aplace called the ChampsMottets, are seen three Celtictumuli built of pebbles, and about to feet inlength. Two of these were opened simultaneously, andwere found completely empty. The third contained acertain number of thick and short bones, which theosteologists have pronounced to be the remains of a bearof the largest species. In the same collection was foundthe half of a cloven foot belonging to a stag or buck.These remains of what had no doubt been sacrifices, noless than the vicinity of the place designated Bandu Pretrepriests ban, were, in our opinion, indications that wewere touching on sacred soil. Pursuing our exploration, wereached the extreme point of the promontory of Chateleys,which was occupied by one of those heaps of stones theEnglish archaeologists term cairns. The traditions ofburied treasure, which had always haunted this mound,had induced a farmer in the neighbourhood to open it.Quickly deceived in his expectations he had only takenaway, we were told, the foot of a bronze pot, this goldhunter abandoned the spot, leaving the mound MBT Shoes piercedwith a large hole at its summit.This opening, which hadbeen made about sixty years before, and about the originof which nearly every one had forgotten, caused the ruinof the Chateleys to be looked upon as the base of a tower or circular MBT habitation. MBT Trainers In its primitive condition, the cairn or hillock of Chateleys had the figure of a cone with an oval base, and was feet in length, and about feet in width. The neck of land which served MBT Shoes Sale for its foundation was naturally in the form of an amphitheatre; and the covering of stones, formed of large pieces, contained absolutely nothing, and appeared to have been constructed solely with a view to protect the bed of debris covering the floor of the interior, against the effects of time and the cupidity of mankind. All around the stone which formed the altar, were spread long tracks of cinders mixed with charcoal, fragments of vases, and the calcined bones of men and horses.
