Gray — Irish Cromlechs. 
composing the cromlech and chambers is again surrounded by 
two concentric stone circles, the outer circle being about one 
hundred feet in diameter, and the inner fifty feet. Very little 
now remains to mark the outline of the circle. The sepulchral 
character of this very important monument is proved by the 
finding of cinerary urns in the round chambers. 
9 . FINVOY CROMLECH, CRAIGS. 
Sketch No. 12. 
Although Broadstone cromlech has been frequently described, 
the subject of this sketch has been apparently overlooked ; yet 
it is a very typical example, and occurs in a cultivated field close 
to the public road, within half-a-mile west of the Broadstone, 
and one mile east of the Presbyterian Church of Fmvoy. The 
cap-stone is a flat slab, measuring 8 ft. long by 5 ft. 6 in. wide, 
over eight upright stones, forming a well-marked oval chamber, 
the major axis of which runs E.N.E. by W.S.W. 
Formerly this monument was almost covered with earth, 
the cap stone alone being exposed. The earth was removed 
some years ago, and the monument now stands on the natural 
surface of the ground. During the excavation the chamber 
was explored, and a cinerary urn was discovered within. 
10 . CLOUGHOGAN CROMLECH, BALLYGILBERT. 
Sketch No. 13. 
On the eastern slope of Bally gilbert hill, above the old road 
from Larne to Glenarm, there is a cromlech locally known as 
Cloughogan. It forms part of a boundary hedge near a farm 
cottage, and has done service for many years as a pigsty and 
poultry-house. For this purpose the open space between the 
uprights have been carefully filled in with small stones. The 
thrifty housewife who made this change, claims the credit of 
having built the house. Her worthy spouse, however, contends 
that the Danes built Cloughogan before the memory of man, 
and that she only built the byre. This cromlech is about eight 
miles north of Larne, or three and a half miles south of Glenarm,
