    There is a field up at Holy-well Hill and it is called "The coffin Field because it is shaped like a coffin. The field in front of our house is called The Well Field because there is a well in it. There is a field on Mr. Lynches farm and it is called "The Lady Field" because there is a ghost of a lady to be seen in it.
