Notes:	Angelo Maria Bigari (fl. 1772-1779) and Gabriel Beranger (1729-1817) visited individual sites on their tour of Connacht in the summer of 1779, Bigari frequently drew the view, while Beranger made the plans of the buildings. Because the style of the drawing on the previous page (2122 TX (2) 84) is similar to the original drawing (2122 TX (3) 34) by Bigari, then the original of the plan here copied by Turner can be ascribed with confidence to Beranger From: Antiquities of Abbeys, Castles & c. & c. in Ireland, Vol. II Image pasted on sheet.
