same time they are quite characteristic of the architecture of this period 

 in Ireland. 



No. 84. Flat joggled arch to a fireplace, from one of the buildings 

 attached to Kilcrea Abbey. This arch is formed of five blocks of lime- 

 stone, on either side of a central or keystone of a rude T-shape. Some 

 of the flat arches for fireplaces of the fifteenth century are of most inge- 

 nious construction, and of these the one now illustrated is a good ex- 

 ample. 



No. 85. Large square castle, in the glen, and close to the south of 

 Millstreet, county of Cork. 



No. 86. Yiew of Ballinacarriga Castle, county of Cork, erected by 

 Mac Carty, sirnamed Carriga, or " of the rock," in A. D. 1585. 



No. 87. Yiew of the principal room in Bailie acarriga Castle. 



No. 88. Yiew of Carrickaphooka Castle, near Macroom, county of 

 Cork.

 crown of thorns ; the cloth, with the impression of the sacred heart, 

 the hand and the feet ; the ladder, spear, hammer, three nails, dice box, 

 whipping post, with the rope and the three scourges. Below this are 

 the letters IP - MD - G S - , probably the initials for John Plunket, 

 Margaret Dillon, Genites Sua?, followed by the date, 1573. 



No. 91. Yiew of the doorway tower of Coolhull Castle, near Carrick,

 county of Cork, view looking up the river. 



No. 93. Another view of the same castle, looking down the river. 



No. 94. A nearer view of the same, also looking down the river. 



The original sketches from which these have been taken were made

No. 95. Yiew of the old Bawn of Tully, called Tully Castle, on 

 Lough Erne, near Kesh, in the county of Fermanagh. 



No. 96. Plan of the same fortified house and outworks.

 the principal building, and which are about fifteen feet from the ground,

 constructed of wood, in the form of a gallery, to defend this side of the 

 castle. 



No. 97. Carved stone, probably the lintel of a fireplace from the old 

 castle of Macetown, county of Meath. At the left-hand end of the
