- Our farm is comprised of three fields. We call one of them the tenament and the other two have not been christened so-far. There are no streams on our farm. There is one hollow in a field field but it is just called "The hollow". There are no heights that have any names. One part of the tenament is called the "Rock" because there are a few rocks on it. There is a small lake at the bottom of our field . Several years ago there was a heavy frost and the lake was frozen and a man carted out clay and stones to the middle trying to make an island. When the thaw came it all sank and there is a row of weeds up the middle of the lake. There was a canoe found in the same lake and it is in the museum in Dublin at present.
