A composite text made of the extent of the castle and honour of Denbigh taken by Hugh de Beckele, 1334, being a transcript by Frederic Seebohm of British Museum Harleian MS 3632, ff. 1-48 and Maitland Library, All Souls' College, Oxford MS ff. 165-287. From f. 233 (NLW MS 17304E) onwards, the text was transcribed from Colonel Howard's manuscript. The text is written on the recto only and NLW MS 17304E is a direct continuation of NLW MS 17303E.

There are some annotations in pencil and red ink throughout both volumes and some notes in a different hand from that of the scribe inserted loose (NLW MS 17303E: f. 29; NLW MS 17304E: ff. 268, 273, 319).
