ring. He further shews the similarity of the names Tremodret 

 and Rosemoddress, in both of which Cornish localities are stone 

 Circles. 



The same writer has figured a fragment of the interesting 

 ancient British Urn found within Duloe Circle when the hedge, 

 which he reasonably surmises was part of the original tumulus, 

 was demolished. The urn was well-designed, it had handles, 

 and its ornamentation (consisting of cuts or notches, made with 

 a stick whilst the clay was soft), although rude was effective. 

 The presence of the urn is, of course, indicative of early 

 cremation. 



"We have now seen that the pre-historic Stone Circle, — 

 more like a Griant's thumb-ring, or bracelet, than his belt, — may 

 have given rise to the names Tremadart and Stonetown, but 

 probably not to the main tract of Duloe, the land of the flowing 

 lake. 



Still, even Tremadart, or Tremodret, may be derived from 

 sources other than Tre-moderuy. 



Tre-maes-derow would signify the dwelling by the field of 

 oaks ; and in Bannister's Glossary many other explanations of 

 the name are quoted or offered, but we have not space here for 

 their further notice. 



It will, however, be well for us to refer, lastly, to a few 

 phrases in which the word Tu, or Du, is used in a sense similar 

 to that in which it seems to occur in Du-loe. 



The late Dr. Borlase, Pryce, and Williams all give it, and 

 from them we take the following quotations of it : — 



Tu, teu, tew, thew, by mutation Du, (noun masculine) ; a 

 side, part or region ; like the Welsh and Armoric, tu ; Irish and 

 Gaelic, taobh, toib ; Maux, chew. 

 Pop ay du, written also Pub tu. Pup tu, or A bub tu, — on each 



(or every) side 

 A y du, — on his side. 

 War tu dylarch, — on the part behind. 



War tu tre, — on, in the direction of the dwelling or town, — on 

 towards home.
