  1. Local Place Names

    We call one of our fields the hill because it is very high up. We call another one the long field because it is very long in shape. We call another one the rock because in one side of it there is a huge rock. We call of them the lime kiln because once upon a time there was an old lime kiln there We call one of them the back field because it is at the back of all the rest, and another one the wee field because it is not too large. In one of our fields there was small rock. We call it the whinney rock.
