The meaning of this compound, beyond the possibility of disputation, is _The field of the Towers_! And when in both those places are still traced the ruins of such edifices, are we not inevitably forced to connect, as well their _erection_ as the imposition of the _name_, with the fortunes or with the feelings of some side of the above combatants? You will say, then, that the _Fir-Bolgs_ were as likely to have originated the name, and built those structures upon the site, in _reliance_ upon _their_ divinities, as that the _Tuath-de-danaans_ should have been the authors in _gratitude to theirs_? Our only mode, therefore, is to consider the vestiges of their respective religions: and when we perceive that in the isles of Aran, whither the Fir-Bolgs betook themselves after their _first_ defeat, for the period intervening between those two battles, commemorated by the above name, there appears not a _vestige_ of architectural masonry approaching in character to a _Columnar temple_, while, on the contrary, they abound in specimens of _Druidical_ veneration, is it not evident that they, at all events, have no claim thereto? The worship, therefore, of the Fir-Bolgs differed altogether from that of the Tuath-de-danaans, and so _they_ are excluded from those immortal memorials. Indeed the avidity with which they hailed the approach of a new conqueror, and tendered him their assistance for the reduction of the island, arose not so much from any fondly-cherished hope of their being themselves restored to the throne they had lost, or even allowed therein a participation, as from an illiberal aversion to the emblematic ritual of their temple-serving superiors, which their ignorant prejudices could not allow them to appreciate! We are warranted, then, I presume, in assigning solely to the Tuath-de-danaans the affixing of the name _Moy-tureadh_ to those _two scenes of their success_. And did there even a _doubt_ remain on the mind of the most incredulous as to the accuracy of the inference, or the correctness of that reasoning, which would identify this people with the erections _in general_ of those rotundities, it will hide its diminished head, and vanish with self-abasement, when I bring forward the testimony of Amergin, brother to Heremon and, Heber,--the immediate victors of this religious order--in the following graphic and pictorial treasure, as still religiously preserved in the Book of Leccan, viz.:-- “Aonoch righ Teambrach Teamor _Tur Tuatach_ Tuath Mac Miledh Miledh Long Libearne.” That is-- Noble is the King of Teamor, Teamor the _Tuathan Tower_, Tuaths were the sons of Miledh, Miledh of the Libearn vessels.
