    "Fiddawn na h-eilte" is so called because long ago the deer used to wait along that stream. It is east of "Kittie Tom's bleaching garden".
    "Gleann a riabach" is so called because it is a hollow where the grass grows very rough. It is a bit behind Keenagh N. S.
    The names of some streams in my distruct are:- "Lúbán" and "mín".
    "Lúbán" was so called because it flows through a piece of land which is called "Lúbán".
    "Mín" stream is so called because it flows through a piece of land which is known as "mín".
