   There is a field beside Kavanagh's hosue it is called Drionahoe. There is a field beside (?) Fullerton; it is called the souer park and the people gave it this name because long ago the people who owned this field would go to put the cows in and they would not eat the grass because it was sour. We have a field at home it is called the wee park because it is below our house or gardens or vegetables. There is a field called the calfwards and the ardens beside Pat McKinneys. There is another field beside Cavanghs called Drumanee.
