Kilkenny county council commissioned a heritage survey of the Nore in 2009.
The built heritage survey was carried out by Barry Fitzgibbon and Richard Jennings of Kilkenny Archaeology.
Their findings were presented to the Kilkenny Heritage Forum on the 5th of this month.
Here's map 13 from their survey.
