- There is a field near a bog in Calliagh where games were played long ago but the landlord put them off the field & there were no games played in it since. It is called the White Bog. There is a high hill in the same field & it is called the cliff of the people because the people used to stand there.
A low boggy field is called a "mullen". A meadow is sometimes called a "bottom". The field that is farthest away is called the "far field". Tom Mc. Phillips, Latnamard has a field called the "Gort an tSagairt". A man named Finlay lived in Latnamard. He is dead a very long time. He had a very big room & he called it "the pairc".
