Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'They found several Bones in the Cave, and part of a Stags (or else Elks) head; and some other things, which I omit, because the Labourers differed in their Account of them. A Gold Coyn of the Emperour Valentinian, being found near the top of this Mount, might bespeak it Roman; but that the rude Carving at the Entry and in the Cave seems to denote it a barbarous Monument. So the Coyn proving it ancienter than any Invasion of the Ost-mans or Danes, and the Carving and rude [Structure] sculpture, barbarous; it should follow, that [’twas] it was some place of Sacrifice or Burial of the Ancient Irish. ' (London, Royal Society, LBO 14, pp. 293-5; Gunther 1945, pp. 421-3, letter 214; Burnett 2020b, p. 728; transcription from EMLO)
