    field in the centre of which there is a small bush growing on a little hill. This is called the "Sidhe" bush. The old people believed that fairies lived there long ago and some of the old people still living believe it yet. In the townland of Tullyvally Drung there is a long narrow field called the "slang". There is another field in the townland of Corravoggy of the same name and it is also a long narrow field.
