    Grange called "Carraigín". There is a sandpit in the field. The "Scatteries" is a name given to a field belonging to the Hennessy's of Kishikirk. This name was given to it because nothing except rushes grew there. On the road leading from Caherline to Caherconlish there is a cross called the "Proctor's cross". There was a proctor murdered there long ago. There is a field in Michael Barry's in Caherconlish called the High Field. It is so called because it is high.
