- My father's farm is in Scarnagh, Inch, Co. Wexford. The fields and hollows and streams on the farm are called by different names. There is an old mill in the Mill Field. This mill was worked long ago but it has fallen into disuse. There is a quarry in the Quarry Field. Some people say that the quarry is there since the time of the Flood. People draw stone out of it for building purposes. There is a hollow in one of the fields called the Sheep's Hollow because the sheep sleep there every night. There is a big stream running down beside another field. It is called the Draining Stream becuase the whole field is drained by this stream.(continues on next page)
