Transcriber's notes
Here is an interesting combination of Gaelic and English: The place is called Knockantivore, with the Gaelic Name "Cnoc an Tighe Mhòir " scored out. The Gaelic name features in the previous description however.
The shepherds house was apparently known by the knoll upon which it stood.
In the Authorities we see an Anglicisation of the name for the dwelling of Mr Charles McLean: Tomslea for "Tomsleibhe"
