   Here are the names of some of our fields. Cúilín Droighin is the first. It is called after the Blackthorns that grow on the lower side of the field and also in the middle of the field. Then there is Gairraidhe Doimhin, Gairraidhe Com, and Bun na Gairraidhe Com. Gairraidhe Doimhin because it is a deep field, Gairraidhe Com because it is a level field, and Bun na Gairraidhe Com because it is the field below Gairraidhe Com. There is another field called Páircín Nellie Kane. It is the story that everybody used to have a field of their own long ago and that this field was owned by Nellie Kane. Poll na Muc is a small field near the boundary. It is a very wet swampy field and the pigs used to be rolling and rooting there in the hot days in the Summer. I will now tell some names of the places
