Note 216 — ON THE CAT-STANE, KIRKLISTON.
Reading edition
On the supposed site, etc. of this monument to Horsa, in Kent, see Mr. Colebrook's paper in Archæologia, vol. ii. p. 167; and Halsted's Kent, vol. ii. p. 177. In 1631, Weever, in his Ancient Funeral Monuments, p. 317, acknowledges that "stormes and time have devoured Horsa's monument." In 1659 Phillpot, when describing the cromlech called Kits Coty House—the alleged tomb of Catigern—speaks of Horsa's tomb as utterly extinguished "by storms and tempests under the conduct of time."
