- The eighteen acres because there is eighteen acres in it. The stoney field, because it is all stones. The pump field because there is a pump in it. The three fields because there are little fields together so it is called the three field. The marble-hole field because there is a marble-hole in it. Leo Duffy, Claristown, Julianstown
