Addenda. 



A few points call for addition in the first section of this survey, where 

 later visits have given me material important to the study of the forts. 



Carkigillihy (supra, vol. xxxii, p. 95). — This is a good specimen of the 

 simple type. The works are convex to the land ; the outer ring was stone- 

 faced, 3 to 4 feet high, in its present state, with traces of the north pier 

 of a gate at the gangway ; it is 6 feet thick. The fosse is not less than 6 feet 

 deep at the centre, deepening to 9 feet outward ; it is 15 feet wide below, 

 nearly 21 feet above. The gangway is 10 feet wide, from which to the 

 K cliff is 96 feet, and to the S. about 54 feet, the fosse being 162 feet round. 

 The inner rampart was faced with a stone revetment at the field-level ; it 

 was 21 feet thick and 5 to 8 feet high ; the revetment was from 3 to 5 feet 

 thick, but very little of it remains. There are no hut-sites, but a path leads 

 down to the sea at the end of the low headland. It has a fine outlook up 

 Glandore and out to Galley Head. The width of the fosse is misprinted 

 " 30 feet " instead of 20 feet.
