The next cross is small, also of granite, and is used as a headstone in 
the graveyard. It may be of comparatively modern date, and a rude 
copy of the head of the large cross. 
The tombstone marked No. 13 is of granite, and the cross, which is 
rudely carved, is in high relief. It has a very twelfth-century look 
about. it. 
The other two tombstones are of mica slate; the ornamentation on 
that numbered 14 is of the same type as.the large cross, but the other, 
No. 15, which is coffin-shaped, is ornamented after a very old fashion, 
and designed by one whose tastes lay in the study of the antique at that 
time. Its date may be early in the twelfth century, its general outline 
indicating that period. 
The remaining crosses, Nos. 16 and 17, may possibly be works Of 
the sixteenth century, for aught I could say. 
Fig. 18 represents a very rude cross at present ‘standing in the 
narrow doorway leading to the remains of what was once a rough-built 
circular Cloghaun, perched on the summit of the cliff near the Waterfall 
at Glendalough, and completely embowered in trees. It is known as 
St. Kevin's House. There is little doubt but that this structure is con- 
temporaneous with the Saint whose name it bears, and who died, as I 
stated before, in the year 616. As to the cross, its extreme rudeness ren-- 
ders any criticism as to its probable age very hazardous. 
Figs. 19, 20. These represent the ruins of a small cross standing 
opposite the door of the Reafert Church. It is only 2 feet 6 inches 
high, and may or may not be ancient. 
The perforated flagstone from the graveyard of the cathedral be- 
longs to a class of antiquities which I shall allude to last. 
Thenext group of five sketches represents four small slabs of red sand- 
stone and a low squared pillar-stone, from the old church-yard of Pec- 
eaun, in the county of Tipperary, near Cahir. It’ is remarkable that 
the Greco-Irish cross, enclosed in a circle, is here again seen; and it 
shows how wide-spread and general was that peculiar type of cross over 
the south-west of Ireland. 
The three succeeding sketches are of early Christian tombstones. 
They are all drawn to the full size of the originals, and the simplicity 
of their inscriptions is very striking. The low pillar-stone with the flat 
cross in a flat circle is clearly not of equal antiquity with the other 
carvings, being probably a work of the twelfth century. The similarity 
of design between this cross and that on one of the tombstones from Glen- 
dalough will be at once apparent. The corner of this pillar is pierced 
diagonally with a hole, but to effect this a deep nick was first cut out of 
the side near the angle. 
The last group of fifty-three sketches comprise monoliths, crosses, 
and tombstones, from various districts. 
The first illustration represents the supposed shaft of the cross of 
St. Adamnanus, standing in the grave-yard of the church on the summit 
of Tara Hill. Without daring to enter into the discussion as to the iden- 
tification of the celebrated Lia Fail, or ‘‘ Stone of Destiny” (a distinc-
