The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of ‘The Liberties of the Citty of Kilkenny’ and on the Down Survey parish map ‘The Parrish of St. Johns in the Liberties of Kilkenny’ as a house on the N bank of the River Nore in the SE portion of 'Pursers Inch' 17th-century townland which equates with the modern townland of Purcellsinch (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). The terrier accompanying the parish map lists Mr. Buckly Pro[testan]t' as the proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). The precise location of this house within the SE portion of the townland is unknown.
