A large part of this temple on the Anniesland-Duntocher Boulevard at Glasgow, near Clydebank and Kilbowie, has now been re-constructed. New wood has been substituted for the decayed and carbonized original timber. The circular area of the sanctuary appears to have a diameter of 245 feet, bounded probably by a ring of nineteen large, white, hard sandstone pillars equidistantly set and each about 8 feet in height. Numerous graves have been found under the floor or old surface. As indicated by the pottery and other relics, the burials near the centre are of the Stone Age. The outer graves belong to later prehistoric periods, the various phases of the Bronze Age. The temple was evidently a favourite place for interments for a very long period. Four graves, very close to the centre of the temple, have just been opened and may be inspected during the next few days, after which they will be again covered over. These four graves are all built of large stones and in two cases contain much decayed timber and wickerwork. The topmost stones in several cases bear curious devices belonging to the class of carvings known as ‘cups -and-rings’. Stone implements were found in some of the tombs. The largest of the four tombs has a depth of 8 feet. The walling of its shaft contains about fifty stones. The excavation of this site has been carried out by Mr. Ludovic Mann, 183 West George Street, Glasgow, C.2.
