    (continued from previous page)
    our farm adjoining the Tullyinchen lane.
    This field is a bad field for pasture and it is on this account it got its name.
    There is a large ditch at the western end of the field called the Garla known as the "Flax-Hole" and it got its name on account of flax being writhed there in former times.
    On the north eastern side of our farm there is a field which is known as "The Whiny Field".
    It is called on account of there being many whins on it.
    There is another field which we call "The Park".
    It got its name on account of it being a good pasture field and it has a southern aspect.
    There are three fields respectively known as "Pauracaol", "Corragearr" and "Molly Ruagh".
    Corragearr is a short round hill and it is on this account it got its name.
    I do not know why the other fields got their names.
