54 SCULPTURED LINES OX DOLMEN. 



on the neolithic deposit in the chamber, is evidence of their 

 great antiquity and points to their having been the work of 

 neolithic man. 



A rather similar sculptured design is to be found in 

 Brittany on the 5th prop of the eastern dolmen of Les 

 Grottes de Kerogille near Carnac, of which there is a draw- 

 ing by the Rev. W. C. Lukis, F.S.A., in the Lukis Museum. 

 The design at Kerogille is however composed of five lines and 

 is considerably more curved than that of Debus, and has a 

 very similnr design in a reversed position above it. It there- 

 fore bears a greater affinity to some of the designs on the 

 props of the dolmen of Gavr' Innis, and may mark an inter- 

 mediate stage in the development of the same symbol.
