The Druid's Seat.
The "Druid's Judgment Seat" stands near the village of Killiney, not far from Drogheda, near the Martello tower. It was formerly enclosed with a circle of large stones and a ditch. The former has been destroyed, and the latter so altered that little of its ancient character remains. The "Seat" is composed of large, rough granite blocks, and if really of the period to which tradition credits it, an unusual degree of care must have been exercised in its preservation. The following are its measurements: Breadth at the base, eleven feet and a half; depth of the seat, one foot nine inches; extreme height, seven feet.
Curious Epitaphs.
Praises on tombs are trifles vainly spent;
A man's good name is his best monument.
From Childwald church-yard, England—
Here lies me and my three daughters,
Brought here by using seidlitz waters;
If we had stuck to Epsom salts,
We wouldn't have been in these here vaults.
From Nettlebed church-yard, Oxfordshire—
Here lies father, and mother, and sister, and I,
We all died within the space of one short year;
They all be buried at Wimble, except I,
And I be buried here.
At Wolstanton—
Mrs. Ann Jennings.
Some have children, some have none:
Here lies the mother of twenty-one.
