"Nearly due south of Kit's Cotty-house, at the distance of about 500 yards, is another monument of the same class, popularly known as the Countless Stones, but so ruined-apparently by searchers after treasure that its plan cannot now be made out. In Stukeley's time, however, it was more perfect, and as his pencil is always more to be trusted than his pen, it may be worth while to reproduce his drawings, (Iter Curiosurn p. xxxii.) for the arrangement of the stones was peculiar, but may have analogies elsewhere."
From "RUDE STONE MONUMENTS IN ALL COUNTRIES; THEIR AGE AND USES" BY JAMES FERGUSSON, D. C. L., F. R. S, V.P.R.A.S., F.R.I.B.A., &c
