No inference worthy of note could be drawn from the relative position of the relics found on this crannog. They were interspersed amongst the débris, chiefly around the fireplaces and over the area of the log pavement, at a depth varying according to their distance from the centre of the mound, but none more superficial than about 18 inches from its surface. Though in point of number and variety the general collection is not equal to that from Lochlee, it is scarcely inferior to it in archæological importance. Following the system of arrangement adopted in the latter, I have described the various articles under the several heads suggested by the respective materials of which they are made. I. OBJECTS MADE OF STONE. _Hammer-Stones._--These implements were in great abundance, forty of which were collected and transferred to Kilkerran House. According to the principle of classification hinted at in the description of those found at Lochlee, which is based exclusively on their shape and the position of the markings, they fall to be arranged in three groups. _First_, Two are somewhat flat and circular, about 3-1/2 inches in diameter, and exhibit markings all round the edge. _Second_, Three, similarly shaped, have the markings on the flat surfaces alone, and appear to have been held when used with one of the flat surfaces in the palm of the hand. _Third_, The rest are more or less elongated, and show wrought surfaces at one or both ends. The largest, made of a fine-grained dolorite, is beautifully polished, tapers slightly towards one end, and measures 7 inches long by 4 broad. A few more were of the same material; and Mr. J. Thomson, F.G.S., Glasgow, informs me that this rock is only found _in situ_ at Ailsa Craig, but that water-worn pebbles of it are abundant along the seashore in the neighbourhood of Girvan. _Polishers._--Under this head I classify about a dozen pestle-like implements, notwithstanding that slight pounding markings were observed at the ends of one or two of them, because they are all over so smooth and glossy that they seemed to have been used rather for polishing or smoothing some soft material, than as hammer-stones. There are also about a similar number of flat polishers, varying much both in size and shape, one of which is triangularly shaped like a modern smoothing-iron. It measures 5 inches long, 4-1/2 broad at base, and 1-1/2 inch thick. _Whetstones._--These are also numerous, but it is difficult to draw a minute distinction between them and the polishers. They vary in length from 2-1/2 to 6-1/2 inches, and are mostly composed of hard claystone or indurated sandstone. One of them, judging from the only fragment which was found, was manufactured with great care, and had a small hole at one end for suspension. This fragment, which is here figured (Fig. 162), measures 3-1/2 inches long, 2 broad, and half an inch thick. [Illustration: Fig. 162.--Whetstone (1/2).] [Illustration: Fig. 163.--Whetstone (1/2).]
