    There is a fort in my district. It is called Rathbane. It means the white fort. It is a big fort. There is a round ring on the top of the fort. It is lower in the middle than it is on the ring. There are little banks of earth around the fort. That fort is on John Lynn's land.
    Páirc Mór is the name of the field on my fathers land. Páirc Mór means the big field. There are two ditches in that field.
    There is another field called Páircín Bán.
