CROMLEHS.

(_To the Editor of the Mirror._)

In No. 328 you have given an account of a cromleh in Anglesea. Perhaps it

may not be amiss to inform you that the word _cromlech_, or

_cromleh_, is derived from the Welsh words _crom_, feminine of

_crwm_, crooked, and _lech_, a flat stone. There are some

cromlehs in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, which are supposed to have

been altars for sacrifices before the Christian era.
