AN lIQUITILS.

Last week lea sepulchral urn. were fowled among rubbish
about a foot below the airfare, by the truant of Llys
farm, the property of Joseph Hnddard, Esq. situated • abort
distance from the Roman military communication, between
the tumults, at lirebeiddior, and that of thrlbenemen,
Cartiarvonsbire. The erns occupied a circular space of
about lite yards in diameter, wbich bad the appearance of
baying lien surrounded by a stone wall. The urns were
foiled in a straight lite, and filled with boues and allies, a
small piece of copper in the first. Each urn was protected
by four upright stouts, in a rectangular form, with a fiat
stone on the top, cud a few handfuls of pare gravel under-
west b They were of rude workmauship,and du not seem to
have ever been exposed to the sellout of heal, as they all
crumbled iato ashes as soon se the ploughnv•ii attempted to
remove them, and not a single fragment, above the size of
a square inch, could be fused a few days after the discovery.
Perhaps tire hopes of fieding some treasures, rendered the
men more indifferent to their preservation. From the cir-
eusestance of there bring several Druidical remains its the
immediate neighbourhood, it is probable that it was a place
of remitters. eoweeerated by the Druids. at a period prior
to the Roma. invasion. A greet part of the repolehre still
remains untouched. It is rather to be lamented, that some
degree of respect is not cscouraged for the primeval monu-
ments of the religion mid sacred rites of the aberigiries of the
country. Thty are proofs, that however misrepresented the
Druids have been by the vary historians, idolatry formed
no part of their religion, while the doctrine of a future
Mate seems to hive had a powerful iriareace lu the forma-
tive of their civil ..d religious iostitotious.
