Notes: | From: Antiquities of Abbeys, Castles & c. & c. in Ireland, Vol. I This drawing is based on one by Chearnley, who lived beside the mansion, and whose drawing was engraved as Plate 102, with text on page 58, in Vol. II of Grose's Antiquities of Ireland, published in 1796 (despite the date of 1791 on the title-page). It is stated there to have been in the collection of the Rt. Hon. William Conyngham (who probably obtained the drawing from Archdall), and it was presumably from Conyngham that Cooper borrowed it to copy. This and 2122 TX (1) 59, which is also of Burntcourt, are the only Chearnley drawings copied by Cooper in the collection Title inscribed in ink l.c. on sheet Watermark is part of a large shield, crowned Physical description: 1 drawing image 11.8 x 19.3 cm., on sheet 18.2 x 26.6 cm.
