XLI. Druidical Remains in or near the Parish of Halifax in Yorkshire, discovered and explained by the Rev. John Watson, M. A. F. S. A. and Rector of Stockport in Cheshire
Abstract
The first druidical remain which I shall mention, is called the Rocking-Stone, and two different views thereof are exhibited at No 1 and 2 of the etched plate attending these remarks. It is situated so as to be a boundary mark between the two townships, Golcar and Slaighthwait in the parish of Huddersfield, on what is called Golcar-Hill, and gives the name of Hole-Stone Moor to the adjoining grounds. The size of it is about ten feet and a half long, nine feet four or five inches broad, and five feet three inches thick. It rests on so small a center, that at one particular point, a man may cause it to rock, though it has been damaged a little in this respect by some masons, who endeavoured to discover the principle on which so large a weight was made to move.
The article deals with the circumstances of founding, subsequent development and the most important characteristics of the Pamatky archeologicke (founded in 1854). It also describes and analyses the institutional and social-political context of the important milestones in the history of this periodical that belongs to the oldest scientific journals in Central Europe focused on history, linguistics and cultural history. The text also deals with the influence of important scientists who had in the past (for example as redactors) given shape to the journal. The final part of the study analyses the present state of the journal and sketches the possibilities of its further development.
