  1. (continued from previous page)
    a family of Griffins who once lived there. This family left the place and it is now owned by my father.
    The Fort Field, is so called because there was a fort there at one time. The ring of the fort is all that now remains to be seen, as the trees were cut down long ago.
    The Long Field is so called because it is the longest field in our farm.
    The Gate Field, this field is so called because there is a gate going in to it from the public road.
    The Hill Field, is so called because it is a very hilly field.
    These were told to me by my father who lives in the townland of Ahanagran about two miles from Ballylongford.
