CaiTowmore Point. Bones and teeth of red deer, cow and pig, also 

 shells of limpet, mussel and periwinkle were dug out of the old sui'face. 

 In one pit a flake of a polished stone axe was found ; in another a 

 small heap of broken dog- whelk, and also several heaps of periwinkle 

 and limpets unbroken. 



FiSHEESTEEET. 



A hasty examination was made of Fisherstreet in 1899. Good 

 indications of a prehistoric settlement were found in teeth and bones of 

 animals, the usual shells, and some rude flakes of stone. In July, 

 1900, when the Royal Society of Antiquaries met at Lisdoonvarna 

 ■several Clare sites were re-examined, and among the rest Fisherstreet, 

 Dr. D 'Evelyn, of Ballymena, discovered at 

 the foot of a cliff, a place which had 

 evidently been the site of a manufactory of 

 stone celts. One perfect example rudely 

 made, many broken specimens with flakes, 

 which had evidently been struck off in the 

 course of manufacture, were found by him, 

 while other broken specimens, flakes, and 

 a very good hammerstone were found by my 

 daughter. Two portions of what may have 

 been the same implement, which had got 

 broken in course of manufacture, were 

 found by my daughter. A large piece is 

 wanting in the centre, and I show the two 

 end pieces in the relation in which I think 

 they should stand to each other in fig. 22 . 

 The half of a celt found by my daughter, 

 showing cutting edge, is figured, both faces 

 being shown (see No. V., figs. 25 and 2ba, 

 next page), and the butt end of a similar 

 specimen found by Dr. D'Evelyn is shown 

 in same plate (fig. 23). He also found the butt end of another celt, 

 which is partly ground. The unbroken specimen which was found by 

 Dr. D'Evelyn is shown in No. VI., p. 357, fig. 26, with section fig. I&a. 

 Some of the fiakes of manufacture are shown (see No. VI., figs. 27 

 to 30). Mr. R. D. O'Brien went back to this place in September, 1900, 

 in company with Lord Dunally, and they found two more perfect 

 celts, though rudely worked. These are now in Lord Dunally's 

 collection.
