    There is a big hill on the farm and it is called Cnocán na gCearc. The reason why it is called Cnocán na gCearc is because the people that lived near it used feed the chickens on top of the hill.
    There is a field also and it is called Peak because there are peaks at each end.
    There is a a big hole and it is called Clois na Peaca. Long ago people used to steep flax in it.
    There is another field called "Clover because a lot of clover grows in it every year.
