  1. Local Place Names

    Páirc an Uaisge got its name because it was a very wet field Summer and Winter.
    Another field was called Pairc an Tobar because there was a great well there and a lot of people used to come there for water.
    A house was there before and the people that were living in it had only one field and that was called Pairc na haoine. Carraigín Ruad was a rock and it is so high that you could see six miles all round. These fields are in Mossgrove, Bandon, Co. Cork.
