238 The Amorpholithic Monuments of Brittany. [April, 



have contained a chamber above ground, like many in the 

 vicinity. 



" The group at Camster is on the moor, on ground falling 

 slightly to the S.W. A considerable depth of peat overlies 

 the rock here, and many stones are below the surface. There 

 are now six lines ascertained. The length is 105 ft., width 

 at the head, or N. end, 30 ft., and at the tail, or lower end, 

 53 ft. The average bearing is N. and S. The stones are 

 smaller than at the last-mentioned group. There is no cairn 

 or other grave apparent close to these lines, but in a direc- 

 tion due N., at 346 ft., is a cairn. No stones are now trace- 

 able between ; but as there are gaps in the lines themselves, 

 this blank interval may once 'have had lines on it to connect 

 the cairn with the existing group. No habitation now exists 

 near the spot, but there were many in this strath, which 

 may account for destruction of stones in former times. A 

 few hundred feet farther N. is the huge horned cairn de- 

 scribed by Mr. Anderson, and at 436 ft. N.N.E. from the 

 small cairn is the round chambered-cairn described in the 

 same paper." 



Mr. Barnwell writes as follows : — 



" In North Wales is a remarkable example of a circle and 

 avenue, unnoticed by Pennant and other writers. The des- 

 cription of it is given by Miss Davies, of Penmaen Dovey, 

 the daughter and representative of one of the most accom- 

 plished scholars and judicious antiquaries of Wales. It is 

 situated between two streams, called Cwym-y-Rhewi and 

 Avon-y-Disgynfa, looking down from a considerable elevation 

 on the Vale of Mochnant, and two miles above the well- 

 known waterfall of Pistill-y-Rhaiadr. It consists of a large 

 circle of isolated stones, of which thirteen were remaining 

 when Miss Davies last saw it, and an avenue of two rows 

 still retaining thirty-nine, and many portions of others that 

 had been broken up. In the centre of the circle is a deep 

 hollow, the site, no doubt, of the sepulchral chamber. The 

 name Rhos-y-beddau, or the graves on the moor, has rescued 

 the monument from being claimed by the Druids. The 

 avenue appears to lead directly into the circle, the breadth 

 of it corresponding to the space between the two stones of 

 the circle where the circle and avenue meet, but it is pro- 

 bable that a stone or two is wanting at this part of the 

 circle. 



"In the northern part of Pembrokeshire is a single line of 

 stones of great size, which Fenton does not mention, although 

 he deliberately pulled to pieces a fine cromlech near it, and 

 which seems to have been connected with this row of stones,
