    The pool field is so called because there is a pool in the middle of it.
    The big meadow is so called because it is a very big field. The little garden is so called because it is a very small field.
    We have another field called Ratheen, and fairies were seen in it and one night when Michael Finn was going home from our house he heard horses galloping round the field. There is a fort in that field.
