The land on the farms is steep but it is very good cropping land. There are two boggy fields and they are never laboured. They are just kept for grazing cattle.
There is one river flowing through the townland and it is called the Meadow Drain because it flows through a Meadow.
There are fields in Lettergull and they have got some queer names such as the Rotton Moss. It got its name because there is a Moss in the field next to it and that makes the field wet and boggy and so it was given that name. The Race Course got its name because it is level and long and long ago the people used to try races in it to see who would win. The ten acre got its name because there are ten acres in the field.
Lettergull is mentioned in a song called The old road to Raphoe. This is the part where it is connected with it. Through Lettergull with right good will
And the Sanny hill I go
To meet that lovely lassie
On the old road to Raphoe.- Collector
