- Item, Álvaro Gómez, who lives in Tamaguelos, said and answered this excommunication letter that the limit went by these standing stones of Boiroá, which used to be two standing stones, and one of them has a cross, and the other, which now lies on the ground, used to be standing; and from these landmarks the limit went straight to the standing stone of Veiga, and from there it went straight to the hill of Ladairo, to another landmark which is in that hill, in an outcrop which has a cross, and from there it goes to the landmarks of Quizás; and that he remembered this from the time of the Englishmen [the army of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and pretender to the crown of Castille, which was in Galicia in 1386-7]
