Rathmullan.There are a lot of fields about here with special names on them. There is a field in this town called the Fair Field. It is called that name because a fair used to be held there once a month. It is called that name since. There is a field down the road, (outside Rathmullan) called the Tower Field. There is a tower in it, and that is how it got its name. The tower that is in it is not very big.Down the walks there is a field called, the Fairy Field, because there are supposed to have been fairies in it a long time ago. Craigidarton is another field. There is a big stone in the middle of it.
