No. 1 . (see Plate II., fig. a).— A rectangular Cloghaun, 21 feet long, by 

 1 2 feet wide. The Avails are 3 feet thick, and inside the corners are square 

 for a height of 3 feet ; above that height the stones are laid transverse to 

 the angle, and made to overlap one above the other to form the beehive 

 roof, (see Plate IV., fig. h). — There are two doorways to the Cloghaun, 

 one in each side wall, and thus facing to the N. N. E. and S. S. W. ; 

 they are about 3 feet high, and 2^ feet wide on the outside, narrowing 

 within to about 2*5 feet. 



No. 2. This is supposed to be an Ointigh. It may not have had a 

 stone roof, and certainly never had the " beehive roof" of a Cloghaun.* 

 No. 3. A circular ruin, 10 feet in diameter; possibly a Cloghaun. 

 No. 4. Euin of a Cloghaun, of the same type as No. 1. 

 No. 5. A group of three mounds, which appear to be the relics of a 

 compound Cnocan (see No. 16). 



No. 6. A small stone fort, about 70 feet in diameter. This was for- 

 merly surrounded by a stone wall, about 8 feet thick, in which was a 

 flagged rectangular doorway, 3 feet high, by 3 feet 5 inches wide, 

 facing to the S. E. 



No. 7. A Fosleac, or rectangular chamber, built of six large flags 

 placed on edge (see Plate III., fig. b) : it is 8 feet long, by 3 # 5 feet wide, 

 and about 4 feet high. 



No. 8. A group of three mounds, similar to No. 5 (see'No. 16). 

 No. 9. Two Cnocans that have been dismantled, and the ruins of the 

 cells exposed. These cells were circular, 24 feet in diameter, and seem 

 to have been of a regular beehive shape. The walls are faced with a single 

 layer of stone, backed with clay; and at their base, on the inside, were 

 circles of flagstones placed on edge. Eig. c. Plate I., is the ground 

 plan of a Cnocan of a similar type. 



No. 10. (see Plate II., fig. c). A Cnocan of a similar type to those 

 just mentioned (No 9). The inside circle of this is 15 feet in diameter; 

 and around this, outside the clay backing, there is a circle, 27 feet in 

 diameter, of flagstones placed on edge. 



No. 11. (see Plate III., fig. d). A rectangular Cnocan, divided into 

 two chambers. It seems to have had only one doorway, facing to the 

 south. 



No. 12. Euin of a circular Cloghaun. 



No. 13. Stone and clay circle, 18 feet in the diameter ; it seems to 

 be the ruins of a Cnocan. 



No. 14. (see Plate V., fig. g). Ruined mound, with part of a cir- 

 cular chamber 2 1 feet in diameter. Extending towards the east from 

 this chamber there is a passage, 1 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 3 feet 

 high, covered by large flags. Contiguous to the chamber, on the S. E. 

 is a circle of stones, 21 feet in diameter ; these seem to be the ruins of 

 a large chambered Cnocan. 



* In the neighbourhood of this there seem to be the remains of a kitchen midden, and 

 a recent potato garden. This structure may, therefore, be comparatively modern.
