[258] Unfortunately these remains in the Museum, R.I.A., cannot now be identified.

[262] Another name for Glencar lake. This crannog lies within the bounds of the Co. Leitrim. The more ancient name of Glencar, as used by the _Four Masters_, was _Cairthe Mulchean_, i.e. Mulchan’s Pillar-stone. _Gleann-a-Chairthe_, pronounced Glencarna, and _Glen Dallain_, signify the Glen of the Pillar-stone.
