inches high, and its entrance doorway is but two feet three inches square. The use of this it is difficult to conjecture. Could it have been a storehouse for provisions? "The monastery is surrounded by an uncemented stone wall, nearly circular, enclosing an area of one hundred and eight feet in diameter. The entrance into this enclosure is at the south-east side, and from it leads a stone passage, twenty-one feet in length, and three in width. At each side of this entrance, and outside the great circular wall, were circular buildings, probably intended for the use of pilgrims; but though what remains of them is stone, they do not appear to have been roofed with that material. Within the enclosure are several rude stone crosses, probably sepulchral, and flags sculptured with rude crosses, but without letters. There is also a granite globe, measuring about twenty inches in diameter.

"In the surrounding ground, there are several rude stone altars, or penitential stations, on which are small stone crosses; and on the south side of the enclosure there is a small lake, apparently artificial, from which an artificial outlet is formed, which turned a small mill: and, along the west side of this lake, there is an artificial stone path or causeway, two hundred and twenty yards in length, which leads to another stone cell or house, of an oval form, at the south side of the valley in which the monastery is situated. This house is eighteen feet long and nine wide, and there is a small walled enclosure joined to it, which was probably a garden. There is also adjoining it, a stone altar surmounted by a cross, and a small lake, which, like that already noticed, seems to have been formed by art." (pp. 424-426.)

All the drawings in this book, which are in the highest style of art, were executed by Mr. Petrie's own pencil, for the knife of his admirable woodcutter, Mr. G. A. Hanlon, (to whom the Archæologia Cambrensis is under no small obligations.) They are by far the best examples of masterly architectural drawings, united with artistical effect, that we have ever seen; their number is no less than 256, and, as a specimen of how beautifully this work is illustrated, we append a view of the door-way of a church at Rahin.
