What is recorded here

According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in 'Gurtenenakelly' there were 'Upon the River Shannon two Ile wires called Soagh Donyly and Soagh Morisy', which in 1640 were are the land of 'Donogh O Hogan of Bellarussine Gent. Irish Papist' (Simington 1934, vol.2, 144). These eel weirs are unlocated within the townland. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
