We have a name on each field. “The new meadow”. We call the meadows “The big Brae”, “the Hollow” and “the Slang” and the “Big Meadow”. The names on the pasture fields are “Paddy’s curragh”, “Martin’s flat”, “Mollie’s garden”, “the big bush” “the bog boy”, “the big stone” and “the path field”. The meaning of the name Paddy’s curragh is there was an old man living there and from that time it is ever since called Paddy’s curragh. Supplied by Patrick Dolan, Greyfield
Written by Bridget McLoughlin - The bee, the bat, the butterfly, the cuckoo, and the swallow, the corn-crake, the weather-blake and all the rest that follow.
