 in La Rue des Massies on a small waste piece of land at the corner

Les Trepieds. — This name is given on the map of Guernsey of 

 1816 to a locality situated in " La Rue des Trepieds," a few hundred 

 yards to the north of the above-mentioned " Le Trepied," and it 

 points to the existence of at least two dolmens there in former days.

La Longue Pierre 5 Les Fla.quetS.— This menhir is men- 

 tioned in " Lettres Sous Sceau," 1537, by which " Collas Symon fils 

 John de St, Sauveur . . . bailie ... a John du Maresq filz John . . . 

 le courtyl de la Longue Pierre ... en la dite parouesse en ung 

 territoire nommee le Flaquaie." (68.) 



Le DehUSi — A dolmen of this name stood in a field, on, or near, 

 Mont Saint. In the " Livre de Perchage du Fief St. Michel," 

 1718, is mentioned " Thomas David en son camp du Dehus qui fut 

 a Jean Prache, 1 v. 17 p." The next entry refers to " La Jaonniere 

 du Mont Saint." According to old Folk Lore the fairies danced 

 on Mont Saint on Friday nights. (69.) 



La Longue Pierre^ Le Crocq. — According to Sir Edgar Mac- 

 Culloch this menhir was also called " La Pierre de l'Essart." It is 

 the second largest of our existing menhirs and stands in line with 

 a low hedge between two fields near the end of the point of Le 

 Crocq. (70.) 



Ruined Dolmen, Le Crocq.— A few stones of this dolmen are 

 Metivier to Mr. F. C. Lukis, and to the latter's notes, now in the 

 Lukis xMuseum, in the year 1814 a man named Samuel de la Rue, of 

 Le Crocq, dug up a long stone buried beneath the soil at a short 

 distance from his house. According to his description it must 

 originally have stood in the centre of a circle of stones, which was 

 paved with a floor of flat stones. The menhir and the other stones 

 were broken up by de la Rue for material to build his house. (71.) 



Buried Dolmen, Le Crocq. — A few stones of this dolmen are 

 still to be seen in a field to the N.W. of the menhir. Its site was 

 carefully excavated by Mr. F. C. Lukis, who found only a few 

 fragments of pottery and a spindle whorl. These are now in the 

 Lukis Museum. (72.) 



La Lorigue Pierre des Arondes. — This menhir stood some- 

 where in the neighbourhood of La Hougue Fouque, and it is men- 

 tioned in the following entry in the Rent Roll of the Vale Priory, 

 1323-29 : " Bordagium Exclarabie — Ricardus Le Delivre 1 p. : 1 cap : 

 de Longa Petra des Arondes." The name of " Les Arondes " seems 

 to have been given in the fourteenth century to several fields in the 

 vicinity of La Hougue Fouque, and they may possibly be the district 

 now called " Les Ronchins." (73.) 



Holy WeSIS» — The only Holy Welf in the parish, mentioned by Sir 

 Edgar MacCulloch, is La Fontaine de Lesset, but he does mot say 

 where it was situated. It is probably La Fontaine de Lessel, near 

 Mont Saint, which is mentioned in the Perchage du Fief St. Michel, 

 1917. 



Stations, etc. — A number of flint implements were found, by Mr. 

 J. J. Carey and Mr. Derrick, on the little islet of Dom Hue 

 some years ago. There is also a prehistoric oven, or furnace, still
