    Sgeatán Maireadh is so called because in a corner of it there was a little house and a woman lived in called Maireadh. There is a big tree growing near the corner and she used to hang clothes on it.
    Tobhar Céile is so called because a family of the Healys lived there. They are not living now in it. They died out. It is a little well in Murleys field in Dangan.
