- Names of fields in Mr John O'Hara's land in Curnamuckla are Gort-na-Seamróg, the Fallow Field, Haggard Field, The Rushy Field, Bush Field, Three Corner Field, Páirc-an-Caiptín, and High Field. These are names of fields in Mr. Eddie Kane's land in Cloonruff. Gort-na-Mullach, Hazel Field, Clais-na-h-Altóra is in Cloonruff. Many years ago that is where the Priests celebrated Mass when the Catholics were not allowed to go to Mass. The Flag-stone is there still to be seen which was used for the Altar but the Pillars have fallen down. Cnoc-an-Aifrinn is beside it and the people go to see it still.
Gort-na-"Molly" is in Cloonruff. The "Molly Maguires" were living there. The men were joined in a Secret Society to force the land from the Landlords. At night they dug up the land and that is why they called it Gort-na-"Molly".
Poll-mór is in Curnamuckla. There was a grave there for babies who died unbaptised.
