the other only 3 feet ; the sides are most unequal in height, being, 

 north, 6 feet 4 inches ; south, 5 feet ; and east 1 3 inches. A large 

 slab is so balanced on the south side that its inner end presses 

 upwards against the north " insertion." 



CoEBEHAGH (shect 19), on the hills near Dromandoora. I notice 

 it to correct the very inaccurate sketch of a curious rock-carving near 

 it,^ which appeared in our Proceedings. This is cut on a naturally- 

 polished surface of the native rock, and is a curious arrangement of 

 two frets, the lower ends curved, the upper forming spirals, the outer 

 edge cut straight into the rock, and the bands slightly rounded. A cross 

 and "I.H.S." have been rudely cut below it 

 in recent years. South from this, on the native 

 rock near the brow of the hill, the outline of a 

 foot has been incised ; it points southward. 



The lower cromlech is very perfect ; a cham- 

 ber 8 feet 2 inches wide, tapering eastward 

 from 6 feet 5 inches to 3 feet 3 inches ; the 

 sides project 3 feet farther east, where they 

 are 1 foot 8 inches apart. It is formed of 7 

 blocks of purple conglomerate (2 each in the 

 sides and the west end, and one to the east), 

 and a top slab, sloping eastward, 11 feet long, 

 and from 8 feet 2 inches to 2 feet 2 inches 

 wide. These remains will be marked on the 

 new survey maps, as I called the attention of 

 Captain Sloggett, e.e., to their existence. 



Clooxey (sheet 34). — Two "giant's graves" 

 in the demesne of Mr. Hall. The eastern had 

 two, if not three rings greatly defaced, the 

 largest block being 12 feet 6 inches by 8 feet 

 by 2 feet. The western consists of an oblong enclosure (30 feet Zv". 

 and S., 11 feet E. and W.), its longer sides lying X.N.'W. and E.S.E., 

 and the angles cut off. It is formed by double rows of slabs, the 

 interspace packed with field stones ; it stands on a low mound near a 

 stream. (Plate X., fig. 2.) 



Tteedagh (sheet 27). — A "long cromlech" of five compartments. 

 Its north side lies N.Ih'.E. and S.S.W. It tapers from 7 feet 6 inches 

 to 6 feet 6 inches in 20 feet. It lies in a Kttle valley bounded on the 

 east by low cliffs. The western end overhangs a small stream ; both
