Place Names

There are Irish names near our farm. Some of them are, Baile Dun-a-h-aodn, Inselohóg, Drumud. The names of some hills are Nuacht láir Port a cuide and some others. A man lived in Baile Dun a haodn long ago. He lived in a big Dun. When he died he was supposed to appear again and the people were afraid to go near the place. The ruins of the dun are yet to be seen and that is how that place got its name. Cuil witch is the name of another place.
