Transcriber's notes
1) The very last sentence on the page in the 'Description Remarks' column happens to be placed below the second Place entry ("Cross"), but in fact applies to the first Place entry ("Cille-Pheadair"), so it has been inserted at the end of that first Place entry instead.
2) The name "Cross" has the word "Stump" handwritten next to it, but this does not appear to be a formal part of the name or site, so "Stump" has been omitted from the Place name's entry here.
