Gray — Irish Cromlechs. 235 



road from Ballintoy to the Causeway, and about as far from the 

 road to the south as Whitepark Bay cliffs are to the north side. 

 The sketch is taken from the west side, looking towards the 

 parish church. The islands off the west coast of Scotland can 

 be seen from this monument. The author has found worked 

 flints, flint flakes, and numerous chips of flint very near the 

 cromlech. Stone celts have also been found in the immediate 

 neighbourhood. 



3. CLOGHNABOGHIL CROMLECH, BALLINTOY. 



Sketch No. 6. 



This is the smallest cromlech in the North-east of Ireland. 

 Its local name, Cloghnaboghil, signifies the stone of the boy. It 

 is situated on the high ground in the townland of Lemnabeg, 

 within half a mile to the west of Glegnagh Cromlech (2), and 

 within sight from the public road. From the open and elevated 

 position of this cromlech there is a very extended prospect 

 seaward, including a considerable portion of the west coast and 

 islands of Scotland. 



4. CLOGHANUNCHER CROMLECH, BALLYCASTLE. 



Sketch No. 7. 

 This cromlech occurs on the heath-covered mountain, in the 

 townland of Ballyvennaght, on the north side of the road from 

 Ballycastle to Cushendun, and near what is known as " The 

 Hungry House," being the house highest on the mountain in 

 that direction. There are three bridges on the county road 

 near " The Hungry House," and the cromlech is about a quarter 

 of a mile from the centre bridge, in the direction of East Tor. 

 The chamber, measuring about 5 ft. x 3^ ft., is formed of four 

 upright stones, and is covered by a large stone 9 ft. long and 

 7ft. 6 in. wide, all the materials being of the Cambrian rocks of 

 the district. There is a very good standing stone, gallaun or 

 menhir, on a hillock near this cromlech, and it can be seen 

 from the county road.
