BY A. L. LEWIS. THE fifthPrehistoric Congress of France, at whichI had the honourof represent- ing the Royal AnthropologicalInstitute, visited, amongst other objectsof interest, four dolinens of a peculiar type in the Department of the Oise. These were all alike in plan, and differedbut little in size or other details, except as to orientation. They are all chambers,between 20 and 30 feet long, and 4 or 5 feet wide and deep, lined, and originallycovered with slabs of stone, and closed at bothends. In threeof themthe stone at one end is pierced by a round hole, not more than 18 inches in diameter, and carefully worked from both sides. In the fourth,instead of the single slab with a hole, two or morestones are so arranged as to make an opening. Outside these holed stones is an open portico or shrine,of which the holed stonie forms the back, the sides being composedof two or moreupright stones, and all being roofedin by one or more capstones,which stand at a higher level than those of the allJecouverte behind them. The lengthof the whole structureis about 30 feet. At TRIE CHATEAU,about fourkilometres from Gisors, in a wood,are a menhir and a dolmen of this type. The menhir is 4 metres high,2 metreswide, and 4 of a metre thick (13 feet by 61 by 2O), and is buried in the ground to more than half its height; but it has been dug round,and some animal bones were discoveredduring the excavations. The dolmen,which is about 250 mletres fromit, is of the type I have just described,the aliJecouverte being about 24 feet long,31 to 4 feet wide,and 3 feet deep, but possiblydeeper originally. It stands about 15? east of north and west of south. The stone at the south end and the capstones have been removed. Polished stone axes and human bones were discoveredin or underneathit. At the northend the all4e is closed by a siingle stone,8 feet long,1 footthick, and 5 feet high,pierced by a round hole,not more than 18 inches in diameter,through which children were formerlypassed to cure or preservethem from fever. On the northside of this stone are two others, each 5 feet high, at right angles to it, formingwith it a porticoor shrine,which is covered by a stone 122 feet long, 6 wide, and from 2 to 3 thick. This shrine faces to about 10 east of north, while that which I have to speak of next,LA PIERRE AUX FLEs at VILLERS ST. SEPULCHRE,faces about due north. This latter structureindeed differsfrom the otheronly in retainingtwo of the This content downloaded from 209.175.73.10 on Tue, 16 Feb 2016 04:54:28 UTC All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~-- - 49 ~ 4 V W-, - ---f- + taget A- 5ss=. t~~~~~~6 .- S .....

Each of these groups of stones supports a small capstone,and the large capstone rests upon them instead of directlyupon the uprightstones.

LEWIS.-OA some Dolmiensof faller.partly into it, blockingit up. The remainsof ninetybodies were found in the aliee with some stone axes, spearheads, and pottery,but nothinghas been foundin the portico. The point of greatest differencebetween the Dolmen de la Belle Laye and the othersis, however,the remarkablecarving which is on the middle stone on the north side of the portico. This has been thoughtto representa prehistoric goddess of a rather unpleasant description,who is associated with a stone axe (not the double-bladedCretan weapon). The resemblancebetween this sculpture and a fenmalefigure is not very strikingat firstsight, but it becomes somewhat plainer on comparingthe variousillustrations collected by M. Salomon Reinach,l by means of whichwe see that these carvings representmerely the breasts and necklace of a by no means engagingfemale figure, more fully represented in other places. In one case we find a rudimentarynose, in another a nose and mouth withouteyes, and in othersnoses and eyes withoutmouths, while some have arms and even hands and fingers. Most of these are carved on only one face of the stone,but in one instance the back of the stone is carved as well as the front. The collar or the breasts,and frequentlyboth, appear on nearlyall these extra- ordinaryfigures, and show the connectionbetween those in which nothing else is representedand those whichare more complete. Yet I think it can hardly be maintainedthat any of themare developed fromothers by a processof improve- ment, or degraded from others by unintelligentcopying, as the Gaulish and Britishcoins appear to have been degradedfrom a Greek original. It would seem ratherthat the sculptor and those forwhom be worked found the slightestcon- ventional attributesufficient to bring their deity beforetheir minds,and that,I suppose, suggests a considerableamount of intellectualityon their part. There are sculpturedstones amongstthe megalithicmonuments of Ireland and also of Brittany,and on some of the latter stone axes seem to be figured; but,so far as I know,none of them exhibit those emblemsof the goddess whichwe have been especially considering. Mr. Borlase,however, thinks that he finds traces of her in Irish traditionand folklore(Dolmens of Ireland, p. 579). It has been said (Builder, 18th May, 1907) that "of six stones that remainof a line that ran parallel to a now destroyedtomb at Tamuli (Sardinia) three have breasts,as if to distinguishthe sex of threeof those buriedin the tomb; " but the position of these stones,as shown by La Marmora and, after him,by Perrot and Chipiez in theirrespective books, seems to indicate that theyhad no connection with the tomb in question.

    Lecture to Old Carlow Society February 2000 1 Joseph.M.Feeley. Dunleckney, Bagenalstown, Co Carlow. 2nd Edition 2/05 Lecture to Old Carlow Society February 2000 2 Carlow Dolmens Introduction; Our interest in this topic began in 1995 when I began to do research on possible patterns to the siting of dolmens in Co Carlow and neighbouring counties. This research conducted from maps ended in failure. During the summer of 1996 my good friend and partner in crime Roger Jones suggested looking for solar alignments. We checked out all known dolmens in sight of the Mount Leinster Range . The only site to have both a clear view of the mountain range and with the proper alignment angle is at Ballynasillog just north of Borris. Establishing that it monitored two important solar events in early Spring and late Autumn meant getting up in the dark for nearly two years to check this out fully. One reason why it took so long was that Roger wanted to get the perfect photo of the sun rising in the Sculloge Gap. Glad to say that he eventually got his picture. The second phase began last September when I was asked by your chairman to give this lecture. Such a request concentrated my mind wonderfully and I returned to my original quest of finding a pattern in the siting of dolmens. The Inventory of Archaeological Sites in County Carlow published by the OPW was our main reference source. In addition the Discovery Series Maps (published by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland) and the Geological Survey maps were regularly consulted.

Passage tombs, destroyed der but by a huge flat limestone slab. This chamber was free- monuments likely to have been passage tombs and barrows of standing and accessible for a certain time, but the entire area probable Bronze Age date indicated. (Map by Noel McCarthy) inside the boulder circle, including the chamber, was at a later stage encased in a large cairn of stones. This would have made the chamber entirely concealed and inaccessible thereafter. Listoghil also stands out as the only monument with mega - lithic art, consisting of faint concentric circles carved onto the south-eastern edge of the roof slab, and a finely pecked hook-like symbol on the inside of the pointed wall stone forming the south- east side of the chamber. Despite their uniform simple construction, the deposits of bones and the various objects found with them make it obvious that the Carrowmore tombs were part and parcel of the same ritu - al tradition as the larger and more complex passage tombs in the Boyne Valley or at Loughcrew. The difference might be that Carrowmore in general represents a slightly earlier phase of the passage tomb tradition in Ireland. Date Above: Carrowmore 51: chamber with surrounding cairn removed.

  • NEOLITHIC IRELAND and BRITAIN (Part 1)
    NEOLITHIC IRELAND AND BRITAIN (Part 1) By Mike McPhee [Text of an address to the Sydney Unitarian Church on 21 February 2021.] When I chose this title, all that ‘Neolithic’ meant to me was the New Stone Age – and all I knew about that was that it was a period when the most advanced stone tools were developed and when the megalithic structures you’ll be seeing today were constructed. However, it turns out that there is much more to the Stone Ages – just looking at Europe, they were: 1. the Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age) from 1.6 million years ago to 15,000 years ago 2. the Mesolithic Era from 15,000 to 5000 years ago; and 3. the Neolithic Era from 7000 to 1700 BCE (The dates are necessarily approximate and there is some overlap because the progression moved more rapidly in Southern Europe than in Northern Europe.} It will be clear from the dates that the Paleolithic Era began before modern humans evolved. This should not surprise us, as it is known that our precursors, such as Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis used tools made from stone, wood and bone. However, the earliest stone tools were fairly simple, consisting of core tools and the flakes that were broken off them. Similarly, the first wooden tools, such as spears, were merely shaped with stone hand-axes or knives: It should be added that the end of the Paleolithic Era corresponds to the final phases of the Pleistocene Ice Age, which lasted from 2.6 Mya to 11,700 BP.

House walls stand higher than a person’s head, and chambers in tombs display outstanding masonry skill. The diversity of evidence is also striking, from settlements to chambered tombs, stone circles and their quarries. There is varied material culture, especially in the Late Neolithic, with the presence of Grooved Ware pottery and a wide array of stone objects, including stone balls and maceheads. New discoveries continue, not only on small, outlying and previously neglected islands, such as of the settlement of Braes of Ha’Breck, on Wyre (Thomas & Lee 2012), but also in areas long trodden, such as of the settlement complexes of Barnhouse (Richards 2005), Ness of Brodgar (Towers et al.
