ANTIQUITIES. 



By Francis Josei>h Bigger and William J. Fennell. 



Prehistoric Remains. 

 HE north-east of Ireland is particularly strong in 

 prehistoric remains. Cams, pillar-stones, crom- 

 leacs, stone circles abound in every district ; but 



we do not purpose to give any lengthened or 



systematic account of them, only a general sketch of what 

 may be observed. 



Carns. 



Almost all the high mountains have been crowned with 



carns, many of which have, however, in recent years been 



removed. The group of carns on the Slieve Croob, near 



Ballynahinch, are perhaps the most important, whilst others 



THE KEMI'E STONH, UU.NUONALl' 



on Slieve-a-true, near Carrickfergus, and on Carn-eigh-aneigh, 

 between Cushendall and Ballycastle, Carn-an-truagh on 

 Knocklayde at Ballycastle, are amongst the most important. 

 The latter is said to mark the grave of three princesses.
