256 THE FOGOtr AT HALLIGEY, TRELOWARREN. 



Relig-ge^ (formed like golvan-ge, hedge-sparrow), would be 

 hedge-willows, wUlow-hedge, or wUlow-field ; and I find that 

 this explanation of the name has been accepted by the Ordnance 

 Survey authorities. 



Thus, Halligey, named perhaps from the willows growing on 

 the Castle-rampart, or in the Castle-close, may be simply equiva- 

 lent to " Withy -lank."

Plan and Description of the Cave at Tkelowaeben. 



Eef erence A. Place where part of one of the side walls fell 

 in : — present entrance. 



B. Semicircular gallery, the only entrance to 

 which appears to have been through the passage at DD. The 

 length of this gallery is aboutf fifty-five feet, its average height 

 six feet and upwards. 



0. Main gallery. Length about thirty feet, 

 average width five feet, average height seven feet and a half. 



DD. Passage between the galleries, about three 

 feet high, appearing as if it were a continuation of the 

 semicircular gallery at X, the contraction being opposite, — at Y, 

 where it is three feet six inches wide. At its other end there is 

 a portal consisting of two upright squared stones and one of the 

 same character which is the lintel. This portal is two feet six 

 inches wide and not quite three feet high. The uprights are 

 rubbed as if by sheep. 



*Williams's Cornu-Erit : Lexicon, pp. 48, 213, &c. 



tMi\ Blight gives the length of this gallery as about 90 feet, which is more 

 nearly correct. W.I.
