 Kirkdale, Yorkshire ; Crawley Rocks and Paviland 

 (Goat's Hole), near Swansea ; aud Banwell, Burring- 

 ton, Sandford Hill, Bleadon and Hutton, all in the 

 Mendips. "It is clear that some of the sites were 

 included in the area covered by glaciers during the 

 great Ice Age. It is obvious, therefore, that man was 

 in occupation either before or after that period, and the 

 oldest deposits sometimes contain quartzite and flint 

 implements of very rude workmanship, suggesting 

 an antiquity even greater than that of the human 

 handiwork discovered in the drip-gravels." (" The 

 Stone Age," pp. 59, 60.) 



B.C. 5000 Iberian Long barrows. Barrow near West Kennet ; the

 Leitrim, from which remarkable stone moulds for 

 casting spearheads have been obtained. From Lake 

 Monalty and Lough-na-Glack, in co. Monaghan, 

 bronze celts and daggers have been recorded. Cran- 

 nogs are numerous in Scotland and Ireland ; much of 

 interest has been obtained from those in the counties 

 of Ayr, Dumfiies and Wigtown — the best English 

 example has been excavated at Holderness in York- 

 shire. Crannogs are artificial islands made of logs 

 placed transversely, also brushwood, earth and stones. 

 Another type, known as pile-dwellings, also obtains.
