Names of fields on my father's farm -
Gort-na-Seamróg so called because there is so much shamrock is growing there. This field is situated in Cornamuckla on the borders of the New Village.
The Barley Garden is situated in Cornamuckla. This garden got its name from the barley which the old people grew there. Nothing but green grass is growing there now.
Paddy's Field in Cornamuckla is a field where a man named Patrick lived and who had a little house beside a well. Neither the house nor the well can be seen now.
Other fields near by are Lios-a-choin in Cloonruff. This is a fort. They say the fairies live there.
The sraith is a field in Cornamuckla on the borders of the New Village.
