    Mary had her house in it. The remains of the house are still there. The second gets its name because it is very soft and wet. The last one gets its name because a man named Thady had his house on it. There are only two [?] more fields left and they are:- the Park and Drum mór. The Park is a very wet and soft field but it is not as [?] bad as it was. Turf was cut in it but it has been drained and the places where the turf was cut have been filled in and the land is better than [?] used. The field Druim mhór gets its name from a long high hill (druim) that is in it. The hill is not very straight but slopes [?] up from the sides of the field to [?] centre and it is flat on the top.
