    Streams and Fields, Hills etc in the Townland

    The best known hills are "Carraig a Lúigh" or Carrigaloe and also "Carraig mo Chliar"(?), which is a little further away from us.

    The names of the Streams are Poll Buidhe, Clódach, Lineán,
    Bun a' t-Seabhach and Tobhair.

    The names of the fields are:-
    Croc Creabhair; or the hill of the woodcocks
    Moinfheir; it is the bog field and turf is got there every year
    Round D, it is a round field and shaped like a D.
    Garraidhe Caol; it is a long narrow field
    Garraidhe glas; it is so called because good grass grow there and it is grazed for the whole year round.

    Baintín = is a field that would not be ploughed

    Garraidhe bog is a very wet field and ferns and rushes grow there.
