The Cotts, Co. "Wexford. 



The Cotts is a townland between the town of "Wexford and Broadway. 

 My friend the Rev. R. Fitzbenry, P.P. of Broadway, brought me to see a 

 number of standing stones in this neighbourhood, some of them of considerable 

 size. In a field on this townland we saw two small stones of red conglomerate, 

 evidently marking the head and foot of a grave, about 3 feet high and 5 feet 

 apart. Unfortunately I was not provided with a measure or a camera — indeed, 

 the weather was so bad that to have photographed the stones would have been 

 impossible. The southern stone is conical in shape. The inscription, which 

 had not beei. - on the north-west angle of the northern stone, 



and seems complete, _ ihort and the top of the stone is fractured. 



1: ends about 2 inches below the fracture, and reads iaknl

 that it will be found that the inscription reads el>ith, and this being so, no 



more need be said about it ! It is not the only nineteenth-century Ogham
