  2. Local Place Names

    Share Share Post
    The names of the fields most common in the district where I live are, The Long Field, The High Field, The Well Field and the Fort Field. The Long Field got its name on account of its length. The High Field got its name because there was a house built there once and it was higher than any house in the parish at the time. The Well Field got its name because there is a spring well there and nobody remembers when it was made. The Fort Field got its name because there is a fairy Fort situated there. There is another field also called "Field of the Hurling". It got its name because fairies are supposed to be seen there hurling.
