Annadom, is more curious, from its having been difco- 

 vered, nearly thirty years ago, to contain within its cir- 

 cumference, which is about fixty yards, and towards 

 the bottom, a large frnooth ftone, of a fquare figure, 

 from feven to eight feet over, and fupported by feveral 

 other ftones above three feet and a half high, forming 

 underneath a kind of chamber, in which were found 

 afhes, and a number of bones to appearance human; 

 upon the furface of this large ftone, when the fmaller 

 ftones which were pyramidically arranged were re- 

 moved, a quantity of black afhes were found. The 

 entrance to this chamber was towards the north, and 

 under feveral flat ftones regularly difpofed in front of 

 each other, and extending to the outfide of the cairn : 

 thefe ftones were fome years ago taken away for build- 

 ing. Of the pillar ftones the moft remarkable are thofe ' 

 near Sliddery ford, to the fouth of Dundrum; they 

 confift of ten or twelve ftanding in a circle, the diame- 

 ter of which is about eight or ten yards, and are about 

 three or four feet in height : without digging and clear- 

 ing the earth away nothing accurate could be deter- 

 mined concerning this piece of antiquity, as the foil 

 about it has been often difturbed, and many of the 

 ftones feem to have been difplaced. Another very re- 

 markable ftone ftands on the fummit of a hill neac 

 Saintfield \ it i| about fix feet above the furface, and 

 from its dimensions muft have required confiderablc 

 exertions to place it there,
