- Every person in this district has names on his own fields to distinguish one from the other.
We call one field Páircaráha, another Páircanáub. In Poulmadogue there is a quarry. We call another garryooling, another garrynasceha, and another garryooling. Garrynabolla is a small field near the house.
Peggy Malone's father has a name on every field.
Aclac geog is the name of one field, another the three Gurfuses, another páirc garbh, another paircín a Loag because the calves are alway there, another pairch camh, another tubreach because there are many springs there, another pairch na pípise, another gurc néal, another garf a núsa, and ár mór.
My father has Irish names on some of the fields such as the Brannar because it is a very rich field. The "White Park" because it is always studded with white daisies. There is a field near our house called the Gleann because it is in a valley.
