Knowles — Report on Prehistoric Remains. 183 
people had evidently sat and worked ; but here, where the implements 
were plentiful, there was no appearance of black layers or signs like 
what I had seen elsewhere of hut-sites. It was supposed that the 
leighbourhood of the earn might have some connexion with this un- 
isual distribution of the implements ; but on my last visit I found out 
clearly that the earn had not necessarily anything to do with the 
^natter, and that the position of the implements was due to an en- 
tirely different cause. All along the face of the hill where the 
[implements are found the carboniferous limestone comes to the sur- 
L'ace, and has undergone so much decomposition that the nodules of 
bhert which it contained are liberated and lying on the surface. The 
prehistoric people, finding this abundant supply of chert, sat down 
imong the precious material and carried on their manufacture on the 
ppot. Their hut-sites were lower down among the sand-hills, where 
[ have found the usual old surface with flakes of chert and shells. I 
Drocured some hammer-stones and anvil-stones, a piece of a polished 
Itone hatchet, and some bits of pottery. Plate xiii. shows a series of 
)bjects from Bundoran — fig. 1 is a chert arrow-head ; 2 is a partly- 
inished arrow-head of chert ; 4 and 6 are fiint arrow-heads ; 5 is a 
3hert flake, dressed entirely over the back, but undressed on the flat 
side, which is not shown ; 7 is a borer of chert ; and 9 is part of a 
iarge spear-head of flint, which may have been about 4 inches long. A 
scraper, combining both the ordinary and hollow scrapers already 
referred to, is shown in fig. 10 of same plate. Fig. 12 is a knife of 
iint broken at the point ; and 8 and 1 1 are small scrapers of chert. 
An anvil-stone, with two indented spaces on one face, is shown in 
PI. XII., fig. 8. 
Stredagh. 
The last place I examined was Stredagh, near Grange, in county of 
■Sligo. I found several hut-sites in the sand-hills there with old floors 
md surfaces full of sea-shells. I saw no flint objects, but found two 
iiammer-stones, an anvil-stone, a quartz core or pebble, from which it 
tiad been attempted to strike flakes, and a portion of the top of a 
g[uern. The various implements, the old surface with included shells, 
and the hut-sites, were in every way similar in character to the 
corresponding remains in other sand-hills.
