  1. Folklore - Local Place Names

    The manes of some of our fields are the Well field, Pairc ruaid, the rock field, the quarry field, the two bush field and Puggy's field. There are no names on the streams in my Locality. There are some hollows and heights and three old bushes on my farm at home. The well field is a long narrow piece of land. The quarry field is nearly a square in shape.
