Overview

Excerpt from Arch ologial Cambrensis, 1862, Vol. 8: The Journal of the Cambrian Arch ological Association WE are indebted to the kindness of the august Presi dent and the members of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries at Copenhagen, for permission to reprint from their Transactions the following highly interesting paper. The engravings with which it is illustrated come to us from the same source. In translating it we have adhered as closely as possible to the original, - which has already made its appearance in several European languages. At the last annual meeting of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, which was held in our palace, the question was again mooted, how our ancestors, unprovided with the mechanical means of our own times, had been able, during the Age of Stone, to move the large masses of stone of which those sepulchral chambers, commonly called Giants' Houses, have been constructed and especially how they had contrived to raise into their places the large overlying stones, or the stones which seem to cover the chambers in question.
