slight glacis on the slope of the hill, and, in clearing the 
loose rubble, we found three fragments of stone rings, similar 
to that described above. The platform abutted on the 
remains at A, discovered by Mr. Irby, as well as on the 
pavement and cone unearthed by myself. The glacis may 
have disappeared. The remains may have been plundered 
to form the foundation for the beacon, but it is more prob- 
able that they were destroyed when the present path to 
the top of the mountain was constructed. 
With regard to the row of nine so-called fire-places, men- 
tioned as running along the precipitous southern edge of the 
mountain top, very slight traces can now be seen. Mr. 
Lefroy speaks of finding ‘‘ indications of nine small hearths, 
about four feet square,’’ but I was only able to trace some of 
these and, even then, the identifications were in most cases 
doubtful , with the exception of the two near the cone (B), as 
the soil of the summit had been swept away almost to bed- 
roc 
On exploring the extreme south-western end of the sum- 
mit, a hole, apparently the same as that shown in Mr. Irby’s 
plan (C), was discovered. This appeared to me to be a com- 
paratively recently-dug well. Three dressed blocks of granite 
were found near it on the surface, but these may have been 
moved to their present position at a recent date. Digging in 
the hole, which was carried down to bedrock, produced 
nothing, neither is it lined with brick as are those in the cone 
and the pavement. Indications of the large hearth marked 
on Mr. Irby’s plan as lying near C are still to be seen, but 
nothing of interest was found there. 
But little restoration work could be attempted, but the 
stone and brick sheathing of the cone and the pavement were 
treated with cement, the cracks between the stone and bricks 
being filled in with this material, partly in order to preserve 
the remains against weathering, partly in order to discourage 
future plunderers. Furthermore as many of the dressed 
edge of the foundations of the square platform which was 
discovered by Mr. Irby, the rest of the space between this 
and the hole (A) being filled in with pieces of brick, so as to 
form a rough reconstruction of the pavement. No cement 
was used here. Mr. Irby has put it on record that the 
granite edging of the pavement consisted of two courses, but 
we were not able to collect a sufficient number of stones to 
carry out the restoration according to his description. 
A striking fact about the materials used in the con- 
struction of the remains on Kedah Peak in their miscellaneous, 
and often fragmentary, nature. The granite blocks vary
