   There is another field called páirc na gamhna. It is called this name because it is in this field we keep the calves every year. There is another field called páirc na tighe. It is called this name because ruins of old houses are still there. These old houses were belonged to the Danes. There is a passage at the entrance of these houses.
   There is another field called páirc mór. It is called this name because it is the biggest field in the district. Long ago there was a man working in this field. He found a Leprachaun's shoe. He picked it up and put it into his pocket.
   He went home and forgot about the shoe. When he went to bed he had no peace. Everything was searched and when he got up next morning, he found the shoe in his pocket. He put the shoe at the door step next night and he had peace. When he got up in the morning the leprachaun's shoe was gone.
