   Local Place Names
   Many fields in the locality are known by old names which were put on them, probably hundreds of years ago. Some of them have fine old Gaelic names, trying to inform us that they were once the property of some mighty monarch or that they still conceal in their bosoms treasures of untold value that have been searched for yet never found by mortal men. The majority of the fields are known by English names. These names usually point out the positions or size of the field and very little form of ancient history is disclosed by them. The following are a number of place names best known in the neighbourhood.
