  2. There are many fields in Ballybroder and for our convenience we call them names, the "long field," the "stony field," the "hilly field," the "five acre field, the "six acre field," the "graveyard field," the "Parkeen," the "middle field," and the "lawn." Each field takes its name from its own characteristic.
