About 200 yards south of my dwelling there is a field called "Deer Park". This is how it derived its name. About eighty years ago there lived a man named Peter Ormsby who kept a large supply of deers and he reared them in this field. Since then it is called "deer park". It is now the property of John Carty a native of Castledargan also. - Our farm consists of twelve fields and each one of those has its own name. The first one is named The Well Field. It is so called because at the left hand side of it there is a well.
The Apple Tree Field so called because in the hedge are a few apple-trees
The hollow field which received its name from the hollow which is at the bottom of it.(continues on next page)
