- There is a district in this parish called Fermore, but long ago it was not called this name but Thomasin. The Hopyard is the name of one of the fields in this district. It was called the Hopyard because long ago because a fruit called Hop grew in the field.
- In the townland of Lissanode there is a field belonging to Mr Parker and there is a bush growing on it called Ganley's bush. The reason it was called this name was, on one occasion a man named Ganley fell off a horse here and was killed and the bush was called after him.
