Not far from this place is Kailpot-Cragg: so called, from a
large, smooth, circular cavity, (much resembling a pot or
boiler,) in the solid blue rock. The boat may go close to
it, as at fourteen yards from the shore there is twenty-six
fathom water, and the face of the rock is nearly
perpendicular. Cavities of this kind are not unfrequent in
rapid torrents subject to frequent floods, or in large falls
of water; and these are occasioned by the rolling of stones,
which are always found in them, ground as if done by an
artist: but here not one of those circumstances takes place,
and on that account this rock may safely be ranked among our
natural curiosities.
