Good, sl wear Octavo pp 249 - 286 2 plates "Westropp's greatest achievements were the comprehensive surveys of the prehistoric monuments and medieval buildings of counties Limerick and Clare, and the academic papers on the more important castles, abbeys and friaries in each county. He also wrote a range of articles on structures or sites throughout Munster and Leinster as well as in Galway, Mayo, Londonderry and Armagh. In addition to this vast output of major publications he regularly contributed short notes or miscellanea on an enormous range of topics. These show the impressive breadth of his interests and erudition. He drew attention to and summarised neglected historical source material, published corrections of place name derivations, recorded stray archaeological finds, and elucidated heraldic devices. He offered informed comments on architecture, corrected errors and unwarranted assumptions relating to folklore, and promoted oral history." Dictionary of Irish Biography
