Saturday, 10. — From Kilkenny to Knoctopher, 8 Miles; to Mulnavat, 7; to Waterford, in ye Province of Munster, & ye County of Waterford, at ye Angel, 5 Miles. The Road to Knoctopher was over an open healthy Countrey, bare of Inhabitants; This poor scattering place, Knoctopher, is govern'd by a Portreve, & sends 2 Members to Parliament. The Tower of it's Church is a Square 'till near ye top ye Angles become Planes, inclining inwards; ye small body of ye Church is new; ye Cross-Isle, of ye same age as ye Tower, in ruins. Beyond This, ye Road went over a mountainy Country, Stony, nothing but Heath & Barrenness, and very thinly inhabited, but then ye Miles were not long. More ruinous Churches to day, & We saw some Goats browzing. We descended to ye Ferry, & crossing ye Suire, pronounced Shure, which here is a noble River of handsome Width, & parts ye Counties, We arriv'd at Waterford, seated upon ye Banks of it; And close by, It dischargeth itself into that arm of ye Sea, which is known by ye name of Waterford Haven. See Boate, p. 37.
