From the Preface: "These Archaeological remarks and Antiquarian notes on one of the most remarkable places of Irish History were reprinted from the "Kilkenny Archaeological Society's Transactions," and intended to be published by their late lamented Author, E. A. Conwell, Esq., but his illness, eventuating in his death, prevented the work from being brought out during his lifetime."
