    The names of the fields on my farm are:- "Garryduff", "Páirc na bFearg". "Ácra Baoi". "Páirc na Búarc". "The Lough Field", "Ballydavy".
    The field "Garryduff" got its name because it is in the village of "Garryduff".
    I do not no why "Páirc na bhFearg" got its name, but it means "The field of the anger".
    "Acra Baoi" means "The yellow acre",
    "The Lough field" is so called because there is a lough in it.
    "Páirc na Búarc" is so called because a man named Burke lived in it. There are no ruins of the house there now.
