(93). CCE 1 ; Plate XXIV, fig 9. A slab, 2 feet 1 iuch by 1 foot 3 inches 

 by 3 inches ; the hole for the gnomou is not drilled through the stone in this 

 case. The complete circle round the hole is divided into graduations, as 

 though the stone had been intended to lie prostrate. The circle is di\'ided 

 into two by a diameter, the ends of which are distinguished by a crosslet ; 

 there are twelve graduations in each semicircle, three of which in the lower 

 semicircle are marked with complete radii, the rest with short strokes on the 

 circumference of an imaginary circle. 



Much could be said about these dials, comparing them with similar dials 

 at other sites^ ; but this would form a theme apart, and would lead us too far 

 away from the main purpose of this paper. 



In concluding this Part we may notice a few miscellaneous stones lying 

 here and there among the ruins. 



(94). CXS 4. A stone, 8 inches by 10 inches by 5f inches, with a channel- 

 groove running across it. 



(95). Plate XXIV, fig. 11. A block of stone, rounded, with one side 

 flattened and measuring 1 foot 2 inches by 1 foot 3 inches, bearing a 

 rectangular sinking 2 inches deep, smeared inside with cement. Lying on the 

 north wall of the chancel of St. Caimin's. 



(96, 97). Two halves of quern stones, one an upper stone, diameter 1 foot 

 4 inches, the other a lower stone, diameter 1 foot 3 inches. Lying with No. 95. 



(98). Plate XXIV, fig. 10. A gable finial, quite plain except for a groove 

 parallel with the side of the stone. I sketched this on the island on one of 

 my early visits, but somehow omitted to take a note of exactly where it was ; 

 on my last visit I could not find it. It may be concealed among the wilder- 

 ness of little stones marking graves in one or other of the cemeteries on the 

 island. 



(99). Plate XXIII, fig. 8. A triangular piece of limestone lying in the 

 graveyard south of St. Caimin's. It is evidently the apex of a gable which 

 has had a continuation of the corner-pilasters running up the wall, as in the 

 church on Inis Mhic Dara. The dimensions are, length of base 1 foot 6J inches, 

 height 1 foot \ inch, length front to back 1 1 inclies, breadth of hame 2| inclies, 

 tympanum recessed 1 inch. 



'Such as the dial of Clone, Co. Wexford, for which see Journal R.S.A.I.,
