There are many fields and places which got their names. "Lacky's Moot" is the name of a little wood in Ballyglass, which is about one miles from Kilmurry School. It derives its name from a man named Marbachy who lived there many years ago.
Pullcthic is the name of another place, about a quarter of a mile from Kilmurry School. The meaning of the word is "Black Hole." There is a dark hollow in this part of the field, and it is covered in by a wood. Some people call this place the "Black Hole wood."- Informant
