The lands of Buzzardstown

The Brick Field
This field is so called because long ago men used to work there, they used to make bricks from red clay which is still in that field.
The Camp Field
This field is so called because during the time of the Norman invasion the Normans camped there.
The Green
This field is so called because all during the year the grass is green, it never changes its colour.
The Curragh
This field is so called because long ago Mr Hoey the father of the man who lives there at present, used to train horses in the field.
The Leg of Mutton
This field is so called because it is in the shape of a leg of mutton.
