Just had a quick look at archive.org, but it isn’t there. There is however:

Wexford castles: landscape, context and settlement by Colfer, Billy, 2013

This is available to ‘borrow’ (view online) so you have to be a member, but that is free. Or I can search for what you are interested in as a first step if you wish.

This states that it is a private publication. There are several references to the book in various resources as Alan Boyd points out on Google books but no information.

John Grenham also has the book in a list of local histories for Wexford.

There are no listings for the Jeffrey book at Amazon, eBay, or abebooks.

As has already been somewhat alluded to, there are multiple other sources that cover or may cover some of the same ground:
-  Castles of Wexford (Colfer's book)
- Atlas pf the Irish Rural Landscape
- 100 Wexford Country Houses
- Archaeological Inventory of Co. Wexford
- Wexford Gentry (Multiple Volumes)
- Medieval Wexford
- On Our Own Ground (Co. Wexford Parish by Parish)
- Treasures of the Landscape
- And many others....

It might be easier if OP were simply to state what it is that she is looking for information on.

From what I can see, this book wasn't published for sale. Eight years after Bill Jeffrey died in 1971, his written notes on this matter were compiled into a book, 6 copies of which were to be presented by the Old Wexford Society, at their annual reunion in 1979, to the County Library.

Thankyou all for your assistance. I will try the Library.

Wexflyer-
I am just curious to see if it had much on Tullicanna/Tullycanna castle and if this could add to what I already know.
