CARL-LOFTS, a remarkable antiquity, either Druidical or Scandinavian, in Westmoreland; on the Lancaster and Carlisle railway, 2 miles S of Shap. It was originally an enclosure about ½ a mile long, and from 30 to 60 feet wide, by lines of unhewn granite blocks of great size, with a terminating circle, about 40 feet in diameter, of similar character; but it has been extensively demolished by blastings for building material, and by the forming of the railway.
