    The part of my father's farm adjoining the lake goes by the name of Loc Dubh and going down to this farm you meet the Léine Buidhe. A little more to your right you pass a nice spring well known as Tubar Róac. And on the other side of the farm there is a field called Bun a Bóthar.
    Over near the Bog Road there is a place called Port Ruadh. Between our house and Brennan's a little green patch is called Pull na h-Easóg.
