    This field is on our land, as well
    (4) Challaghan's Fields. The fields are called that because they were owned by a man named Challaghan who lived in "Carrenroe Street" a couple of hundred years ago. This field is also on our land.
    (5) Grawine-Oarna or The grain of Barley. It is called that name because barley grows well in that field, and barley is the crop that is sowed mostly in it still. This field is the property of Miss Gace, Carrenroe.
    (6) The Osca (Uisce). This field was once very wet, but it was drained by Tom Lyng, Ballynunry.
    (7) The Cossis, (An Casa). This is the name of a lot of hilly fields that meet together in the townland of Tintime, the property of Tom Lyng.
    (8) Kits Well was the name of a well in Carrenroe one time. The field in which this well was the property of Kit Fowler, who lived in Carrenroe Street, two hundred years ago.
