   Local Place Names
   In most places in Ireland there are names given locally in fields, streams and old bushes, these names are derived either from their natural characteristics or from former owners of the fields or from people otherwise connected with them. On our farm there is a field known as the "Clump Field" because in this field there is a large mound of earth. Another field is known as the "Sunday Meadow" because long ago there used to be races held there on a Sunday, and great crowds used to be seen there from various parts of the country. There is another field called the "Cuckoo Field" because every Summer the cuckoo is constantly seen there, another is called the "Plum Field" because large numbers of plum trees grow there. The "Canal Field" is situated beside the Grand Canal and from its situation it derived the name.
