Commodore Anson's Voyage into the South Seas and around the World
A newly discovered Souterrain near Ballineen, County Cork, Irish Free State
The village of Ballineen is on the railway-line, 9 miles west of Bandon, or 25 miles westward from the city of Cork. Three-quarters of a mile southward from Ballineen, on a farm named Curraghcrowly West, a remarkable Souterrain was discovered in April 1929. See 6-in. Ordnance Map, Cork, 109. The geographical position is Lat. 51° 43′ 23′′ N.; Long. 8° 57′ 17′′ W. Ireland, 1 in. Sheet 194
Two Great Dolmens of Central France
The visitor to Tours, having exhausted himself, as is soon and easily possible, in 'doing' the chateaux of the Loire, may find refreshment for his jaded brain by passing from history to prehistory, and turning back the pages from 1500 A.D. to 2000 B.C. or thereabouts, which he may do in the course of two short journeys from his hotel.There are many prehistoric remains in the departement d'Indre et Loire, and in the arrondissement of Tours alone t…
Orientation
The term "Orientation," as applied to a structure of any kind, means the direction in which its principal line is laid out on the ground. Originally, as the word implies, orientation signified "eastwardness," only, and had special reference to churches, because (in western Europe) practically all churches were built with the longer side laid out in an east-and-west direction. In some, the line is to True East, exactly; in others the axis lies at …

VIII.— Instances of Orientation in Prehistoric Monuments of the British Isles
The occurrence of orientation in prehistoric structures has long been noticed. It has not, however, received from investigators much more than a passing comment, such as ‘the barrow is directed to the eastward’, or ‘the entrance to the chamber faces the north-west’. If a definite bearing is given, it is rarely stated whether it is ‘Magnetic’ (such as is obtained from a prismatic compass), or a True Bearing, i. e. an azimuth
