No. 15. Ruin of a Cnocan, of a similar type to No. 11, except that 

 it does not appear to have been divided into chambers (see Plate III., 

 fig.*). 



No. 16. (see Plate IV., fig. e). A chambered Cnocan. The cham- 

 ber at the entrance is an oval, 15 feet long, by 8 feet wide, at the S. E. 

 end of which is the entrance passage, 3 feet square on the outside, and 

 narrowing in width to 2*75 feet on the inside. At the -K. "W. of the cham- 

 ber is a passage, 3 feet square, leading into a circular chamber, 12 feet in 

 diameter. Prom this circular chamber there is another passage, 1 5 feet 

 long, by 4 wide, 3*5 high, leading into the innermost chamber, which 

 is also circular, and 1 2 feet in diameter. 



All these chambers are surrounded internally by flags, backed with 

 rubble masonry, and faced externally with clay. At each side of the en- 

 trance the external clay wall is faced with flags. The two groups of 

 mounds before mentioned (Nos. 5 and 8) would seem to be Cnocans of 

 this type ; for at both those places there are three mounds, two of which 

 join into one another ; and the other, which is a little apart, is connected 

 to them by a low ridge, which may indicate the site of the connecting 

 passage. 



No. 17. Euined Cnocan. 



No. 18. Ruined Cnocan. 



No. 19. Ruins of two Posleac and two Ointigh. The largest Fosleac 

 (see Plate III., fig./) is 30 feet long, 6 feet wide, and about 4 feet high ; 

 it seems to have been covered by large flags. Attached to it on the 

 JN". W. side is a small rectangular chamber. 



No. 20. A Cloghaun of the same type as No. 1. It is marked on 

 the Ordnance Map, and called Creg-a-blughaun. This is the most per- 

 fect example of its type at the locality, as a portion of the roof is still 

 seen to rise above the perpendicular walls. There are two doorways 

 to this building — one facing north, and the other south, that are three 

 feet high, 2-5 feet wide on the outside, and 1*75 feet on the inside. At 

 the jST. E. of the chamber there is a window, 1 foot square, and 3 feet 

 from the ground ; the chamber is 16 feet long, by 8 feet wide. 



No. 21. Ruined Cnocan. 



No. 22. This may be the ruin of an Ointigh ; but it seems to be of 

 modern construction. On the Ordnance Map it is marked, and called 

 Ballynamo ught (Anglice, Village of the Poor). It is 27 feet long, by 16 

 feet wide, and has north and south high doorways, 2 feet wide, and a fire- 

 place at the east end. 



No. 23. Three circular Cnocans — these occur on the hill, south of 

 the hamlet called Ballynacragga, a little north of the trigonometrical 

 point 400. They lie in a line contiguous to one another, and seem to be 

 the remains of a chambered Cnocan. 



No. 24. On the crest of the hill, due south of the village called 

 Cowrugh, there is around and flat heap of stones, which seem to be the 

 ruins of a cluster of huts. Mr. Kilbride considers this to be the ruins 

 of a Coenobium of a colony of monks. 



No. 25. Ruins of two Cloghauns, of a similar type to No. 1. The
