240 . Gray — Irish Cromlechs. 



13. CLOGHS CROMLECH, CUSHENDALL. 



Within about a quarter of a mile from No. 6, and farther 

 down the slope of the hill, there was once a very large 

 cromlech. Many of the stones that composed the chamber may 

 still be traced in the fences near the site ; but the great cap 

 stone and others were removed some years ago by an enter- 

 prising workman, who had them blown up by gunpowder to 

 supply material for building the adjoining house ; " an by the 

 same token" says our informant, li no good iver come if him." 



14. MOYARGET CROMLECH. 



This monument stood near the southern, or rather eastern, 

 bank of the Invir, or Inver, Water, now a small stream sepa- 

 rating the parish of Ramoan from the parish of Ballintoy. Like 

 the last, very little of it now remains to indicate its former 

 importance. Twenty-five years ago the standing blocks were 

 known locally as the grey stones. There were originally 

 about six supporting stones about five feet long, the cap stone 

 being about eighteen feet long. The Rev. George Hill, a well- 

 known archaeologist, was one of a party who explored this 

 cromlech in 1840. "A large urn of burnt clay was found 

 about two feet below the surface, placed with the mouth down- 

 wards on a rude pavement, and contained a dark paste, evidently 

 ashes made damp." 



This monument may have originally marked the burial-place 

 of a great northern chieftain named Arghad, from whom the 

 two townlands of Upper and Lower Moyarget (Magh- Arghad) 

 may have had their names. 



15. TICLOY CROMLECH, No. 2. 



This cromlech occurs in the same field as No. 7, and has been 

 already sufficiently noticed. In sketch No. 10, the blocks of 

 stone that composed the monument are shown at the foot of 

 the tree in the background.
