Deane — On Ancient Momiments in Co. Kerry. 105 



It is curious to note that these cells are surrounded by a thick and 

 closely built Tvall of dry stones, obviously not noted by Burton, and 

 tending to Petrie's theory of great antiquity. 



The curious stone now placed in the Museum of the E,oyal Irish 

 Academy formed what may be called a jamb-stone of one of the 

 circular cells in this fort of Gleniaun. It is inscribed with two 

 ancient crosses, one on either side ; beneath are hollows and connecting 

 spirals ; on the other side ornamentation below the cross, and on the 

 edge a round ornament, an Ogham inscription.

The entrance, which is small, about two feet in the ground, is 7 feet 

 from A to A\ and gradually widens from the outside end at A, towards 

 the inner A^ notice it turns and forms a chamber with No. 1. 



First Chamler. — This cell is 12 feet long from B to B\ 4 feet wide, 

 and 5 feet high ; the roof is composed of 4 lintels laid across from east 

 to west. On the western side is a passage 3 feet long, 1 foot 6 inches 

 wide, and 1 foot 10 inches high. In this passage is a flag set upright, 

 2 feet from the outside, and 1 foot from the inside, through which an 

 opening is scooped. 



Second Chamler. — This is 9 feet long from east to west ; width at 

 east end 5 feet, at west 6 feet ; height 5 feet. The roof consists of 

 three flags, laid from north to south. 



The walls of the 1st and 2nd cells, which incline from the floor to 

 the roof, are built of small rubble stones without mortar, and are so 

 accurately fitted to each other that it would be hard to remove one of 

 them. 



The passage at the south-west corner of cell 2 dips about 4 feet, 

 and at a distance of 3 feet runs for about 9 feet, where it enters 

 chamber 3. This passage is 3 feet wide and 4 feet high. 



Third Chamler. — This chamber is in the shape of an inverted canoe, 

 is 14 feet long from acute northern angle to south, and in which some 

 loose stones are piled up as high as the roof, and which being deep 

 seems as if a drain led from it to take off the water. Height of this, 

 5 feet ; width, 6 feet. 



The passage from chamber 3 runs west for 6 feet, 2 feet wide, and 

 2 feet high, and then through a hole 1 foot 6 inches wide, and 1 foot
