Kildare.Place NamesSome of the names of fields I know are the race field, the hill field, the barrick field, the mill field, the pond field. The race field is called that because there were races held in it long ago. The barrick field is called after a barrick that was there long ago. There is a field in Mr. Dowlings called the mill field where there used to be a mill long ago. The man's name that owned the mill was Patrick Mooney. There is a field in Mr. McAndle's called the pond field because there is a pond of water beside it
