   These are some place names on our farm. "An Ladar" is the name of one because it is a hill between two rivers. !Blach an Bó". There used to be black turf in the field and a cow used to be grazing there always. "Inse na Luachra" there used to be rushes got there always. There are some rushes there yet but not much. "Páirc a Ruiséailigh" a man named Russell had that field once. "Clais a Cnuich" it is a hollow between two hills. "Insín a Bhob" Bob was a horse, he used to be grazing in the inse. An inse is a little field down near a river. "Inse Máire is Pádraig" Máire and Pádraigh were an old couple who lived in the inse. A man named Merrigan one of our neighbours has a field named "Páirc na Gairleóige". Garlic used to grow in it. "An Inse Fada" we call another little field. It is very long. An inse is a little field near a river.
