3 incTies away ; only 4 feet 6 inclies remain — tlie rest is broken to the 

 gTound. The west end is 4 feet 4 inches long and 3 feet high ; the 

 cist tapers eastward to 3 feet 9 inches internally, and the broken cover 

 lies neai'it.^ A short distance frum the east end is a large round caii'n 

 of mossy stones overgrown with bushes. In this, near its northern 

 edge, a large block is set east and west. 



A line of slabs 3 feet to 6 feet long is set in the ground southward 

 from the northern cist to a small pillar 22 inches square, 9 feet to the 

 west of which lie a fallen slab and traces of an old-looking curved 

 earthwork. 



(10). Cabieloghax, Clooney Parish (0. S. Sheet 35, ITo. 8 and 

 No. 12). — This townland adjoins the barony of Tulla ; and its monu- 

 ments group naturally with the once numerous cists of Milltown and 

 Moymore. Our plan of adhering to the lines of the map necessi- 

 tates their separation. The group of four small cists were (by a 

 mistake of my own as to the townland bounds) given as in Moymore 

 by Mr. Borlase. They were shown to me by the Eev. J. B. Greer, and 

 lie near a farmhouse between the Moymore bridges, being marked on 

 the new survey, whose officers were careful to insert any unmarked 

 monuments pointed out to them ; but unfortunately (so far as I know) 

 only Dr. George TJ. Macnamara and I took any trouble with the 

 marking of pre-historic remains of Clare on the new maps. 



{a) The first or southern cist hardly rises over the field ; its cover 

 only measures 4 feet by 2 feet 3 inches by 1 2 inches ; it rests on three 

 other blocks, one being 3 feet square. There is no trace of a mound 

 or cairn about it. 



{h) Two blocks of similar character lie side by side ; but it is not 

 certain that they formed a cist. 



(c) In the north wall of the field is set a block 4 feet by 2 feet 

 8 inches by 12 inches, and is said to have been part of a " Lobba," of 

 which the other portions were used for the wall. 



{d and e) Beyond this are two small cists entire : the northern 

 resembles a demi-dolmen ; its cover measures 6 feet east and west, and 

 6 feet 8 inches north and south, being about 12 inches thick. The 

 standing-block, supporting it to the east, measures 33 inches by 

 14 inches, and rises only a foot above the ground. The neighbouring 

 cist has an irregular top slab 4 feet 4 inches to 7 feet 3 inches east 

 and west, and 4 feet 2 inches north and south, and is 16 inches thick. 

 The sides are nearly buried.
