  1. Names of Local Fields

    Share Share Post
    There is a farm at the back of our house owned by Mr. Fanning Latin Tipperary. One of the fields are called "The Sydney Field", because a man named Sydney was found dead there. Another field is called "the paddock field" because there is a paddock in the corner of it. Carroll's field because a family of Carrolls lived there long ago. The "Claidhe" field because there is a Claidhe in it. The Claidhe is about 20 yds long and it is like jump.
