The workmen employed to cut the new canal of communication between the Forth and Clyde, digging in August 1771, near one of the most considerable stations on Graham's Dyke, at Auchindavie, had the good fortune to light on four altars of different sizes, with inscriptions on one side of each, very legible. They had been thrown into a pit with the iron heads of two large sledge hammers, and the shoulders of a bust of the same materials with the altars, viz. of the grit stone of the county. Whether these hammers had belonged to the proprietor of the altars, or were used to demolish the temple, is uncertain. But as they were all buried together in the same pit and at the same time, they had probably served some purposes about the temple or fort, perhaps for knocking down victims.
