Kinanan—On Loch Betha, Co. Donegal. 475 
island could not be examined. On the north shore is ‘‘St. Columb’s 
Chair,” and on the east shore were stones, now removed, called the 
“«Giant’s Grave.’ On the west of the lake are some large stones that 
appear to be the remains of a megalithic structure. 
Sussracw Loven, a mile and a-half south-east of Dunfanaghy.— 
In the western portion of the lake there is a circular stone crannog ; it 
is built of flaggy limestones and quartzytes, boated from the mainland, 
and was surrounded by a stone rampart, with an entrance to the 
eastward. It could not be satisfactorily examined, as the lake has 
been converted into a mill-pond, by daming up the embouchure, 
thus raising the level of the water. Also, some years ago, the 
tenant of the adjoining land boated soil on to its surface, to make 
of it a cabbage garden. On account of the height of the water, no 
kitchenmidden, or any of its surroundings, could be seen or examined. 
To the north-west of the lake, on the rise of ground, is the site of 
one of the M‘Swine’s castles. 
Port Lovex, a mile south-east of Castleforward, and immediately 
north-east of the main road from Derry to Newtowncunningham.—A 
erannog discovered when the adjoining bog was drained and the water 
of the lake lowered: previously there was a tradition that there was a 
castle buried inthe lake. This crannog is mentioned, in “ Irish Lake 
Dwellings,” as being in Fort Lake, Co. Derry—mistakes evidently due 
to Mr. and Mrs. Hall. In Castleforward Deerpark, to the north of the 
lake, there was a large round flag, supported horizontally on uprights, 
the surface of the flag being cupped (‘‘ M‘Pharlan’s Statistical His- 
tory’’). At the present time the flag is broken, and at least half carried 
away, the uprights have also been removed, except one or two. A 
native who lived hard-by called it a ‘‘ Giant’s Grave.” 
As these crannogs are not mentioned, or only slightly, in Colonel 
Wood-Martin’s work on Irish lake dwellings, it appears expedient to 
draw attention to them here.
