Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to? c. 1320, but any evidence cited is now illegible.The place concerned is described simply as 'the same manor', and thus is either also named Limpet (which has not been located) or the petition is one of a series and refers to a manor mentioned elsewhere. The reference to Irish and Scottish enemies suggests that the manor lay in Ireland.
