cromleac. It was covered when Dr. Petrie visited it. His 
number for it is 55 - This ought to be uncovered by the 
Board of Works, under whose care these monuments are now 
placed. 
Not far from this heap, down in the hollow near the house, 
stands Dr. Petrie’s No. 53. Nothing but the cromleac is now 
left, the circle formerly around it having disappeaied through 
“improvements” many years ago. The cromleac stands very 
low, and will soon be gone from sight, as it forms a good basis 
for a stone-heap, such as that at No. 55 - It scarcely reached 
higher than the top of the oats by which it was surrounded 
when I saw it. See sketch No. 4. 
In the next field to the south are a great number of circles : 
one in the east corner is formed of very large stones, and near 
it on the south-west is a fine large “ giant’s grave,” or stone 
cist. Half of Listoghil stands in the field, and two cromleacs 
also. 
The nearest to us is Dr. Petrie’s No. 52. It is a large cromleac, 
with a conical cap stone, flat underneath. Query, was it a double 
cromleac? The porch-like entrance is very marked, unless 
what looks like a porch may be the supports of a second crom- 
leac, of which the cap stone is gone. A circle formerly sur- 
rounded this cromleac, but only one stone is now standing, and 
this is not in its original place. My informant once saw this 
stone being moved away, and he put it back as near as he could. 
There is a gentle incline of earth and stones up to the top of 
the supports of the cap stone/looking like an inclined plane, up 
which the cap stone was pushed into position, but I do not think 
it was formed for that purpose, though I could not learn whether 
it had been formed by throwing the stones there which were 
cleared out of the land. See sketch No. 5* 
Passing by Listoghil on our left, we see below us on the 
south, Dr. Petrie’s No. 48. This cromleac is perfect, the cap 
stone being about six feet square, but is nearly level with the 
ground. At a distance of thirty-eight feet from it stands a
