The remainder of the day was devoted to making plans and elevations of 

 Carn K, and in mapping various outlying monuments. The flagstones 

 forming the floor of Cams G- and K were raised, but nothing was foimd 

 underneath. 



The 19th was ushered in by heavy rain, but it cleared partially, and we 

 were at work on the mountain-top by 11.30. Some further surveying was 

 done, and the examination of the material from Cam H was finished. The 

 men were set at clearing out the south end of the interesting long Carn E. 

 In the afternoon the plans and elevations of Carn K were completed by 

 E. A. S. Macalister and Praeger. The south end of Cam E proving barren, 

 the half-exposed cists at its northern end were partially cleared out. Then, 

 in heavy wind and rain, a cut was made across the middle of this monument, 

 again without result, and work had to be abandoned at 6 p.m. 



On the 20th, our last day, work was begun early on the lower of the two 

 cams and P, situated on the eastem spur of the mountain, on the llisses 

 fPolliott's property. On our way up to these structures the remarkable village 

 site described below was discovered. There was no indication of an opening in 

 either cam. We had to work nearly all round Cam 0, before we unearthed 

 a cover-stone, and discovered a pentagonal chamber containing a complete urn 

 jind some bones ; it was covered by a single slab, and had a small ante- 

 chamber. Carn P, situated on the spur overlooking Carn 0, was then 

 attacked. It occupied us almost the whole afternoon, and the entire upper 

 part of it was removed without anything being discovered ; we continued work 

 till it became clear that no chamber was present. The weather, especially in 

 the latter part of the day, was miserably cold and wet, and added considerably 

 to the difliculty of the work. 



SecoTid Visit. 



We resumed work on June 20th — the party consisting of E. A.S.Macalister, 

 E. C. E. Armstrong, W. A. Green, and E. LI. Praeger. On that afternoon 

 further excavations were made at Cam E without result ; subsequently we 

 diAided, and while Macalister and Green photographed at Cams G, H, and 

 K by flashlight and daylight, Armstrong superintended a new attack on the 

 large ruined Carn F, and Praeger surveyed the southern portions of Carrow- 

 keel, traveising some miles of rough gi'ound, and finding one small additional 

 cam, lettered A. The position of the great cap-stone of Cam F, impending 

 thi-eateningly over the excavations, compelled a cessation of work at this 

 cam after a few houi-s. 



The morning of the 21st saw us start work on Carn B (Mr. Gorman's), a 

 very fine earn., magnificently situated on a clifl'-walled spur (Plate XI,
