    Names of Places, Fields etc
    There is a field in the property of James O'Neill, Knockacoola called "Páirc Faoláin" and another one in his property called "Páirc Nora". Long ago people hadn't all their land together as they have now. They might have one or two fields near their house and the rest of their land here and there everywhere.
    So after a while the land was divided and everybody got the land around his house and convenient to him. It was other people had those fields long ago and their names are still on them.
