    Páirc na Gábha.
    There was a forge in this field once and there was a blacksmith working in it.
    Dún Fúar.
    In this field there is a cave and there is a cold high hill in it and hence it is called that name.
    Páircin na Dobhách
    In this field the soil is very dauby and for that reason the old people gave it that name.
