   The " Gullion Dubh " is a field in Annaghmakerrig. It is so called because it is wet and marshy and on account of the black ivy which grows in it. There is a field on Mrs. McGorman's land in Drumary called the "kiln field" because there used to be brick kilns burned in it. There is a little meadow in Mr. Burke's land in Drumary called the Black Hollow and the path leading to it is called the "Worm Path" because it is very crooked. A field near the school is called Lanes' Field because a man named Lane used to live in it. It now belongs to Mrs. Guthrie of AnnaghmaKerrig and Lanes' house has disappeared.
