  2. Old Place Names

    In the farm of Patrick Mulkeen, Cloonbook, Brickens, Claremorris there are eight fields.
    One of them is called Crucan because there is a hill in it. Another is called Laragan because it is a very steep hill. Another is called Garanlinn because there was a sandpit opened in it. It is now covered with water and that is why it is called Garanlinn.
    The name of another field is Culawan because there are rushes growing in some of it.
    Pairc na Sgeac because there is a bush growing in the middle of it.
