BARAT NAMES IN DON VALLEY & IRELAND 199
The Don Valley, to the north of Perth, the site of Partolon’s inscribed monument, contains in the neighbourhood of that monument, besides a considerable number of villages called “‘ Catti’’ (see Map, p. 19) as distinguished from Pictish villages with the prefix of “ Pit,’ also some of the Barat series, namely, “‘ Bourtie,’ “ Barth-ol” and “ Ports-town.”
In Ireland the vestiges of the early Briton place-names are not wanting. I have not yet searched specially for them, but may instance Brittas Bay in Wicklow, with the town of Red Cross; another Brittas, the ancient seat of the O’Dunns, and Bally Brittas, both in Queen’s County, Brutain, with the adjoining Newton Breda, in Down,? and Burton in Cork.* And Ireland of the Irish-Scots has also its ‘‘ Holy Isles,’’ with very ancient remains, including a magnificent “ prehistoric ”’ fort of cyclopean masonry in the Hitt-ite style, in Galway Bay, and also significantly named ‘“‘ Avan” or “ Arran,” which like the name ‘“ Evin ” and “‘ Jv-land,” in series with the “‘ Airy-ana”’ or “‘Ir-an”’ or ‘‘ Land of the Aryans” of the ancient Sun-worshipping Aryans in the Orient.
