O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1929, 11), which would be most unusual. Nothing is visible at ground level in pasture. (Power 1890-91, 478) O'Flanagan, M. (Compiler) (1929) Letters containing information relative to the antiquities of the county of Waterford collected during the progress of the Ordnance Survey in 1841. Typescript. Bray. Power, Rev. P.
