   heard playing there at midnight every night. There is a little field near the bridge and it is called Garry na Raibe. It is so called because once a crop of rape used to grow there and it was used for sheep.

   
   Ré Cnapac

   There is another field at the other side of the bridge and it is called the Ré cnapac because the surface of it was so uneven. In the same field as the Ré Cnapac there is a garden which is called Garraí Lúc. It belonged to a man called Luke O'Brian who lived on Simons hill in Lisroe.
