    Baker's Island
    There is a field on the Miltown estate called "Baker's Island". This is how it got its name. There was a man named baker, and he lived in a field with water all round it.
    The Ringers
    There is another field on the Miltown estate called "the Ringers", because they used to exercise the horses in it.
    The Moat Field
    There is a field in Girley called "The Moat Field" because there is a moat in it.
