272 APPENDIX. 



OF the flone altars, or cromlech, there are feveral ; 

 one on the hill called Slieve-na-Grideal, in the barony 

 of Lecale, eleven feet long, eight feet broad, and from 

 a foot to eighteen inches in depth ; it flands upon two 

 fupporters. Another of thcfe monuments is at Sliddery 

 ford above mentioned, and not many yards diflant 

 from the circle of pillar flones ; o!F this I have given 

 a drawing, as being amongft the mofl curious ; it 

 is nearly circular, the diameter from feven to nine feet, 

 the face feven feet in length, and three in thicknefs, but 

 the flone bellying underneath is much deeper ; it is 

 fupported by three flones, one of which has a cavity, 

 that jufl receives the protuberance of the incumbent 

 flone ; on the other two it has not above a few inches 

 dependence. This flone is granite, waterworn ; the 

 great fupporter, of the fame ; the fmaller are fliifl : the 

 weight of it is immenfe; the fupporters in the rere 

 three feet, the front fupporter is three feet fix inches 

 in the lowefl, fix feet in the highefl part. I have 

 alfo given a drawing of another cromlech, which 

 (lands in the townland of Laganeney* and parifti of

Drumgoolan, in the bofom of a mountain towards the 

 fouth ; this is a very curious monument, of one granite 

 flag twelve feet long, fhaped like a coffin, and fupported 

 by three pillars of the fame ; two at one end, the fouth- 

 eafl, feven feet fix inches in length by two in thicknefs, 

 a third to the north-weft, four feet fix inches high, ta- 

 pering to a point, on which refls the fmaller end of the 



covering
