    On my father's farm there is a field called the "Caisir," and in the middle of it there is a mound. This mound runs straight across the field.
    This field is near the main road. It is not known why its called the cáisir.
    The soil has a whitish tint. The field itself is on a slope and is not very good for grazing.
