Early in February last I received from His Excellency the Right Honourable Sir John Young, Bart., K.C.B., Governor-General of Australia, a note to the effect that, in consequence of the lowering of the level of Drumkeery Lough, near Bailieborough, on his property in the county of Cavan, a Crannoge had been discovered; and also that several articles had been obtained belonging to the former occupants thereof. On receipt of this information, I communicated with Major Dalton, the brother-in-law of Sir John Young, now residing at Bailieborough Castle, and, availing myself of his invitation and hospitality, I had an opportunity of examining this ancient Irish habitation.
