  1. Local Place Names

    There are not many names on our fields.
    "Páirc an Tobair", so called on account of the well, is one beside my house.
    "Maidí Dubá" is another. Furze grew there once & when somebody burned it, all that was left was the "Black Sticks".
    "John's Field" is the name of another field, because a man named John owned it once.
