A rare example of a document concerning rural Ireland.

c. 150 × 210mm. 21 lines in Court Hand, the text starting and ending abruptly: ‘presente ecclesie cathedralis beate Marie virginis Lim(ericens)is ex una parte Et prefatum Peirs Neale & Walterus Neale de Kilfenye in comitatu Limericensis yeomen ex altera parte cuius altera partem sigillo predicti Roberti […] de iure pertinent rectoris de Kilfeny predicti […] ecclesie parochialis de Kilfenye predicte durante termine predicto. Et predictus Robertus Brave pro se […]’; blank on the reverse except for 20th-century pencil notes (apparently recovered from use as a wrapper, with consequent cropping of text at top and bottom, creases and stains, but fully legible).
