CORCOMEOE. 



1. Ballynahown (4). A reputed ''labba" near Caherdoon. "VYe 

 only found slabs. Ibid.^ vol. xxxv., p. 351. 



2. Ballynahown (4). "The giant's grave," in a walled hollow, 

 rows of large stones, and entrance. Ihid. 



3. Cahermaccrusheen (8). Collapsed; 9^ feet long, 5 feet to 4 

 feet wide; cover, 9^ feet by 7 to 8 feet, and 6 inches by 10 inches 

 thick ; in. a cairn, near Caher. Borlase, i., p. 80. 



4. Ballyvoe (8). A doubtful, but dolmen-like enclosure, close to 

 a ring-wall. 



5. Kear Ballyvoe." A small cist in a cairn, removed; could 

 not get site fixed. 



6. Ballykinvarga (9). Collapsed ; large cover, with sides under- 

 neath ; near the great caher and abattis. 



7. Caherminane f (9). 12 feet 8 inches long, 5^- feet wide ; covers 

 gone. Borlase, i., p. 72; called Kiltennan." 



8. Caherminane f (9). Three cists in Kilcameen, ring-wall; the 



1 The traditional Mohernacartan, the residence of the three-armed smith Lon 

 mac Liomhtha (R. S.A.I. , vol. xxv., p. 277). This dolmen and the larger ones at 

 Commons and Gortlecka, and probably Slievenaglasha, were inhabited far down 

 the last century. Borlase omits the partition in his plan of Cappaghkennedy. 



- This is suggestive of the more regular structures at Clontigora and Annagh- 

 cloghhmuUen, in Ulster ; Achill and Deerpark (Sligo), in Connaught; and various 

 dolmens in Spain, Portugal, Sardinia, and Brandenburg. Borlase equates such 

 pillars with the " custodes " at dolmens in the latter place ("Dolmens," ii., 

 p. 30). Colonel Wood-Martin gives a plan of a monument at Streedagh, in Sligo, 

 a tapering cist, with an outer enclosure of slabs, 35 feet across, in a cashel, about 

 100 feet in diameter, which seems closely similar to Creevagh. (" Bude Stone 

 Monuments," pp. U6, 140.)
