    Páirc na gcloch.
    About a quarter of a mile from my home there is a field called the field of stones.
    It is in the townland of Grange and in the barony of Longford.
    It consists of three acres of good land and it is fenced with whitethorn bushes.
    It is used as a tillage field and it is situated on the side of the road.
    It is called Páirc na gloch which means the field of stones and there is a lot of small stones there still.
