What reading level is The Conway in the Stereoscope book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wynne, Esq. , of Voelas. A footpath from the farm-house runs close by. It is marked in the Ord- nance map as a " Cromlech, " but the people call it Yr Ogof, "the Cave, " and the field on which it stands Caer Ogof, " the Cave enclosure. " From instances where this word occurs in connection with cromlechs, it is plain, not only that the term "Ogof " was applied to a tomb, but that the cromlechs were sometimes devoted, perhaps amongst other uses, to that of sepulture.
CHAMBERED TOMB. 171 In the de...scription of this remarkable tomb I am assisted by the very full particulars given by Mr. J. Evans, in the ' Archaeologia Cambrensis'* for 1856, and the engraved ground-plan which accompanies that article. Enough remains of the object to en- able one with tolerable certainty to pronounce on its construction and appearance when perfect. At a distance all that could be seen would be a large mound or carnedd, resembling one of the topes re- presented as existing on the plains of India. At the southern side of the mound, which was of an oval form, and longer in the east and west axis than in the other, would be found the entrance, formed by two upright stones set edgewise, leading down a few steps into a low passage fourteen feet long, opening into a cell.
