3Rp GROoUP—SCULPTURED STONES. 
This group obviously presents more interesting features to the 
antiquary, and in this half of Galloway did in the past contain 
more numerous examples than any other. Some of these, how- 
ever, have been lost, or, at anyrate, lost sight of. 
1. The first example is in this category—TZhe Penny Stane, on 
Cambret Muir, Kirkmabreck. ‘The ‘‘ New Statistical Account ” 
says :—‘ This stone hath upon it the resemblance of that draught

his “History” quotes this without comment. But the stone is 
which is commonly called ‘the walls of Troy. 
not now extant. 
2 and 3 were once close to the great cairn of Stroanfreggan, in 
Carsphairn. The ‘ New Statistical Account” says they were 
shaped “like human figures.” These, too, have vanished. 
4 and 5 (at High Auchenlarie) are two very interesting stones. 
Formerly they stood at a height of 475 feet above sea level, on 
the farm of High Auchenlarie, in Anwoth. One seems to have 
been in connection with a stone circle there; the other stood 
some 200 yards or so to the west. About thirty years ago they 
were both removed to the garden at Cardoness, where they may 
still be seen. They are figured in pl. 122 of Stuart’s great work 
on “The Sculptured Stones of Scotland.” The nature of their 
incised sculpturing may be seen from the accompanying drawing. 
(See pl. L., figs. 1 and 2.) -They stood about five feet above 
ground, 
6. We now come to an important and striking example. Its 
present site is on the east rampart of Caerclach Mote, Anwoth. 
Tt is a thin broad slab off the rocks on the near hills, and bears a 
double sculpturing. On its upper face—exposed, we are sorry to 
add, to all the wind of a stormy cliff, and to the rain-droppings 
from the firs so thickly planted here—is the elaborately carved 
cross shown in pl. L., fig. 3 ; and on its under side a very archaic 
cross, picked out with some sharp-pointed tool in the same 
manner that the cup and ring marks are made. This stone 
is shown also in Stuart’s work, pl. 123, vol. I. 
7. At Holm of Daltallochan, the stone with the incised cross 
here shown (pl. IL., fig 1) was found apparently, if report be true, 
amongst the stones of a cairn. Along with another, also
