also two enclosures, one with an avenue, the other with 
double lines of stones, bearing the local name of ‘‘ Maison 
du Curé.”’ On the banks of the River Laber, also, close to 
the farm Raguénez, is an alignment, and there is a Car- 
neillou at the manor of Trébéron, some distance inland from 
the coast. This last is curious, from the fact that the 
tumulus, which appears to be associated with these lines, is 
named Le Tombeau d’Artus.* ‘These last we did not examine, 
and they are therefore merely mentioned as a record of their 
existence for the benefit of those who may intend to visit 
these localities. The accompanying Table (p. 447) gives the 
principal alignments in Brittany. And the following list 
shows the angles of orientation, or bearings, of the principal 
lines of stones; the variation being taken to be 23 deg. W.

It is well worthy of remark that like everything else in 
Brittany the origin of these avenues, menhirs, &c., is ascribed 
to the ‘‘ fairies,” a superstition which is common to most 
if not all countries where anything unusual exists, and 
where any striking natural or artificial wonder is universally 
attributed by the local traditions and folk-lore of the native 
peasantry to pigmies and giants, and later, as priestly 
* Artus or Artur. ‘Leroi Artus fut enterré dans l’ile d’Aval ou d’ Avalon, 
sur les cOtes qui avoisinent Lannion, et a peu de distance de son séjour favori, 
ce chateau de Carduel or Kerduel, si célebré par les chroniques de la table 
ronde, et appartenant aux enfants de M. de la Fruglaye. Les Anglais ont 
voulu, mais a sort, s’approprier ces localités.”—(DE FREMINVILLE.) From 
this it would appear that the Arthurian legends are as much Armorican as 
British. Vide ‘Traces of Affinity between the Bretons and the Cornish,”
