   The ''well field'' was so called because there is a spring well, in which we get spring water in one side of it.
   ''The big meadow'' was so called because it is a very big, long meadow.
   The rushy fields were so called because they are very rushy fields. There is nothing in them but rushes.
   The coarse fields were so called because there is coarse hay got in them.
   The haggard is so called because we always keep the turf in it and the barn is also in it.
