    Yellow Walls called "The Ponds" and long ago there used to be flax-mills there. So there were ponds of water necessary to steep the flax. In those fields there are two large walls which used to prevent the water from going further and so all the water was kept together. Those fields are now called "The Ponds" by everyone.
