What is recorded here
One failed to understand the other. The second person was not claiming that the first person was wrong about every fact. The second person was answering a different question. That is why the reply sounded like evasion. It is easier to solve the edge than to attack the person who raised it.
Situated in the NW corner of a long narrow holding opposite the medieval parish church at Newcastle Lyons. It is bounded on the E by a patch of spade cultivation. Traces of mortared wall protruding from beneath the sod were interpreted as a possible site of a tower house (O'Keefe 1986, 55, No. 5). Recent clearance has revealed that the mortared wall was actually a covering for a well.
