16 The Hath of Dreen 



3. The Rath of Dreen just described, where three axes 

 were found, apparently just as left by the last occu}iier of the hut. 



These three finds of stone axes in close association with 

 Iron age remains seems strongly to suggest that these implements 

 continued to be both manufactured and used to a very much 

 later date than that usually assigned to them. 



We concluded our excavations by clearing out the floor of 

 the earth house or cloghan. This search was quite unproductive 

 of results, no fiagments of pottery or even charcoal being found. 



I have to thank Mr. Sidney Stendall for his admirable 

 etchings of the po'ttery and stone axes.
