It seems, then, that it was supposed to have been originally erected for a mighty woman called Lodbrok, who had gallant sons, and that the Jerusalem pilgrims had dug into the Orkhill, which was probably a different place to this Maes-Howe, that the treasure contained there had been taken away, and that he would be lucky who found it. It also implies that Okonaekn carried off some of the treasure.--Professor MUNCH. Nos. XIX. and XX.

Ogdonaegn carried away the goods from this barrow._ Ogdonagn is probably a Gaelic name, perhaps corresponding to the present O'Donavan, and the person alluded to may have been of Scottish or Irish origin.--Professor RAFN.
