from which there are extensive views, there were different megalithic 
structures, probably for the celebration of some sort of Pagan 
gathering or festival. Ata later period the Pagan festival was suc- 
ceeded by a Christian one, a patron having been held here for years, 
even up to the memory of the fathers of those now living. It appears 
remarkable that no implements nor ornaments, except the disc and 
glass above mentioned, were found during the exploration, although 
the whole of the ash heaps at the circles were carefully turned over ; 
nor, as far as we could learn, have they at any time been found. 
Who erected the circles at the south well: were they Pagans or 
Christians? And what were the fires for? No bone charcoal was 
observed, although carefully looked for. 
Cummerpurr, or the QuaKkeEr’s Hottow.—Wexford, Sheet 2. On 
the north-east slope of this coom, or the most sunny side of it, are the 
remains of various structures, now very much tossed about, thus 
making their original use hard to be determined. One of the most 
perfect of these is in part like the circles at Cummer village. It isa 
circular structure 16 feet in diameter, having in the centre a circular 
pit 6 feet in diameter, and running west from the pit a passage 
15 inches wide, and 20°5 feet long (fig. 4, Plate VIII.) ‘This is called 
the ‘Quaker’s Hut”; but it was evidently never used as a human 
habitation. In appearance it is somewhat like the kilns used for 
drying flax in Ulster at the present day. The pit and the passage are 
margined with stones, and a fire seems to have been lit in the former ; 
but nothing positive could be ascertained from the excavations made. 
Immediately south-west of this structure is a north and south enclo- 
sure, 16 yards wide, and on its east side 29 yards long, and on the 
west side 23 yards, the south end being an irregular curve; at the 
middle of this, but a little to the east, is the remains of an east and 
west habitation, 8 yards by 5 yards. About 100 yards south-west of 
the ‘‘ Quaker’s Hut” is a second north and south enclosure, having 
to the west a straight boundary 26 yards long, its full width being 
11 yards, the east wall being slightly curved, making the whole space 
enclosed of a regular D shape. Running due east from the west end 
of this enclosure was a ‘‘causey,”’ or paved path, 35 yards long, and 
about 2 yards wide. Near these there seem to have been also other 
structures, but the remains are now so much disturbed, that it would 
be rash to try and restore their original forms and plans. As these 
structures are so near those previously described, they ought to be 
mentioned ; but I would be inclined to suspect that all are more or 
less modern, and of quite a recent date compared with those at 
Cummer village. 
ConnacH Hitt Crrcites.—Eastward of Cummer, near the base of 
the south slope of Connagh Hill, are three small circles, like those 
previously mentioned in Ballythomas, forming an equilateral triangle. 
They are all about twelve feet in diameter, and look like the sites of 
cloghans. <A little south of these there is a large flat block of hornblende 
rock, having on its surface eight cups (fig. 7, Plate IX.) Five of
