Orpen — Bun Gallon and the ' Dunum ' of Ptolemy. 57 



If the foregoing investigation should be deemed to afford prima facie 

 grounds for supposing that in Eathgall we have a still existing memorial of 

 this ancient people, and one too noticed by Ptolemy, a new and abiding 

 interest will attach to the structure. It is, therefore, to be hoped that the 

 problem will not be left where I am obliged to leave it, but that Irish scholars 

 may be induced to scrutinize all the available evidence, and that Irish 

 archaeologists may be encouraged to seek such fresh evidence as the spade 

 scientifically directed alone can disclose.
