These single stones in the British islands are very common They have no known name unless it be that of Cromleh To this there is no objection except that this name is given also at times to two others kinds of stones I shall adopt the Greek words Lithos and Lithoi In order to account for these Lithoi Cromlehs or Cromleacs every supposition has been made by different inquiring philosophers which human ingenuity could devise It is only necessary to notice that which seems to be the most probable Mr Toland explains the word Cromleac from the Irish crom to adore and leac stone stone of adoration But Crom was one of the Irish names of God Daghda was called Cromeocha the good Crom Crom cruadh or Crom cruach was the name of an idol celebrated in Ireland and in fine in ancient Irish the name of a priest was Cromar or Cruimthear that is servant or adorer of Crom Then Cromleac may mean the stone of Crom or of the Supreme God The Cromleac is also called Bothal from the Irish Both a house and al or Allah God This is evidently the ox non bit a or Bethel or house of God of the Hebrews This name is inscribed upon a Cromleac in the cavern at New Grange in Ireland where the most ancient inscriptions are to be found See Plates 19 20 21 The Cromleac was also called indealbha which M Pictet explains by iondealbha the image or symbol of Ion the God Supreme The word Ion is curious with reference to what we have seen of the Island of Iona Cromleacs are of three kinds the single Lithos or upright stone or pillar the same with a cross piece on the top and athird consisting of two upright stones fixed in the ground with a third at the top Why should not these have been figurative of the ancient Triad To distinguish the latter they have been called trilithons They are often much too lofty to have been any thing of the altar kind and are generally of very large unwrought stones The Trilithons are found in India on the coast of Malabar
But I have proven it is true.
