Penman (eds), Medieval and early modern representations of authority in Scotland and the British Isles, 197–213. Routledge.

O’Donovan, J. (1843) The Tribes and Customs of Hy-Many. (Treated as a claim; the map outline is a sketch, not traced.)
Hymany Way leaflet (Aughrim). The leaflet's "1603" is the year O'Sullivan Beare's march passed through Aughrim. It is not the Battle of Aughrim (1691), and it is not the leaflet's publication date, which is not yet recorded.

The old walkway line on the overview map is indicative only. The Battle of Athenry (1316): Annals of the Four Masters M1316 and Annals of Connacht 1316 (annal identified, entry not pinned). Not yet sourced: the Land Commission period.

Some writers (DIB, Curley) place the 1351 feast at Galey on Lough Ree; this site follows FitzPatrick.
