Book of Survey and Distribution.
The Books of Survey and Distribution outline in detail the transfer of land, largely from Catholic to Protestant, in the second half of the 17th century. Names of pre-1641 owners appear on the left-hand page, those of subsequent owners on the right. This volume mentions the "Marble Rocks called the Skellix Rocks" off the parish of Valentia. Landowners with Irish names like McCarthy and O'Neale lose their lands to the Earl of Anglesea and the "Dublin Colledg" (Trinity College).
