2EG J0008+7307 is a prominent EGRET source 10.5 degrees from the Galactic Plane. We report the results of our study of this object, made as part of our on-going programme to identify individual EGRET point sources. We find that 2EG J0008+7307 has a constant flux and is located within the CTA 1 supernova remnant. It has recently been discovered that the centrally-concentrated X-ray emission from CTA 1 is non-thermal [14]. The 95% confidence contour for the EGRET source location includes only one point-like X-ray source, which is at the center of the non-thermal X-ray emission. We propose that this object is a unknown γ-ray pulsar.
