 Mr. E. A. Conwell read a paper — 



On Ancient Eemains, hitheeto undesceibed, in the County of 



Meath. 



My object in bringing this paper before the Academy is to direct 

 the attention of antiquaries to a great field for observation which has 

 hitherto passed unnoticed, and the thorough and systematic exploration 

 of which will, I feel assured, do good service to the cause of antiquarian 

 research. 



In the extreme north-west angle of the county of Meath, about 

 two miles south-east of the village of Oldcastle, and in the direction 

 of the town of Kells, the hill of Sliabh-na-Caillighe, rising to the height 

 of 904 feet, and being the only eminence in the county assuming the 

 name or character of a mountain, makes a prominent feature in the 

 landscape. It is forced out of the Lower Silurian rocks, which occupy 

 a large extent of the country to the northwards, from Drumlish, in the 

 county of Longford, to Donaghadee, in the county of Down, including 

 the range of the Mourne Mountains.
