^{page 191 note 1} Our Fellow Professor Sean O'Riordain, well known to be an authority on the district, has kindly interested himself in the matter. He writes: ‘There is an island (in Lough Gur), Bolin Island, which is evidently mainly artificial, in fact a stone-built cranndg. A larger island, Garret Island, has on it the remains of a medieval castle. Other islands existed in the early 19th century, but are now part of the mainland as a result of the lowering of the water-level of the lake by draining. No excavation of which there is formal record was done in 1850, but Lough Gur was a happy hunting-ground for collectors about that time. On the whole your in- formation appears to fit Bolin Island best; its excavation would not be easy.—P.S. I have looked up The Farm by Lough Gur (Mary Carbery, Longmans, 1937Google Scholar) where there is a description of the finding of a wheeled vehicle, but it can hardly be said to fit the finding of a chariot.’ (I agree: the cart was shafted, and had solid wheels. C. F.)

^{page 191 note 4} There were seven nail-holes on each of the bronzes; only three of the fourteen survive complete.

^{page 192 note 2} There are other developments in these fittings, One at least of the known pole-tip sheaths can only have been used for parade. This is the Ist-century A.D. sheath in the Stanwick hoard at the British Museum. It is paper-thin, of golden bronze deco- rated with delicate scroll-work in relief, 2·8 in. long and 1·65 in. wide, but with a hole to carry a heavy pin 1·2×0·34 in. in section.

On the dome [are] the remains of a moulded ring’ (Jacobsthal, , Early Celtic Art, pl. 11, 12 and p. 166)Google Scholar. On pp. 8-9 Jacobsthal remarks: ‘there is positive proof that the stone is Celtic and descended from Etruscan models.… The Celts became acquainted with these tomb phalloi in Etruscanized north Italy.’ A decorated parallel in Ireland is the Turoe stone, County Galway.
