Kinanan.—On Inscribed Stones, Co. Mayo. 19 
a-half miles E.S.E. from the summit of Croagh Patrick, Co. Mayo, 
between the old and the new roads from Westport to Leenane, a little 
south of Brackloon Wood, and close to the site of the ancient road called 
Togher Patrick. The pile or monument is called on the Ordnance maps 
“St. Patrick’s Chair,” and the markings ‘‘ St. Patrick’s knee marks.” 
These were discovered while I was working in that part of the country 
on the Geological Survey, with my colleague Mr. R. G. Symes, who 
assisted in making the rubbings from them on linen, and who sub- 
sequently brought them before the notice of the British Association, 
at its Meeting in Edinburgh, in 1871. 
““St. Patrick’s Chair” (Fig. 1) consists of a heap of stones. A large 
flattish one covers most of the surface of the pile: of the stones under 
it, some are lying flat, while others are on edge or end, but all form a 
solid mass which might easily be mistaken for a natural heap. The 
markings occur on several of the stones, and consist, for the most 
part, of variously-sized cup-shaped hollows, in places combined with 
circles, or parts of circles. 
Fig. 2 is a copy, on the scale of one inch to a foot, of a tracing 
which was made directly from the markings on the top stone. 
Fig. 3 is a copy of the tracing from the south flag marked a on 
sketch (Fig. 1). 
_ Fig. 4 is a copy of the rubbing taken from the bottom of the seat- 
me place, ‘‘The Chair,” to the south-east of the pile, marked 6 on 
sketch.
