- The names of some fields on John Lynch farm are the garry-warry, Lug-mór, srath, crush-hill, Gnanna-muidde, Druma-Guillen, Rody's garden.
The garry-warry was used for a vegetable garden and was owned by a woman named Mary, who lived in a house near by.
The Lug-mór is a large field with a height in the middle of it. the srath is a little garden. The names of some bridges in this part of the country are Griffiths bridge and Sheels's bridge.
Griffith's bridge separates two town-lands from each other, High-street and Beglieve.
Griffith lived near the bridge and he was always telling lies. The people around buried him under the bridge. So it is still called Griffiths bridge.
