  1. Local Place Names

    Share Share Post
    Our farm at home is made up of a number of fields eight of which have names.
    Rushy Field:_ We have a field called the "Rushy field" because rushes grow very plentiful there.
    Mike's Meadow:- We have a meadow called "Mike's Meadow" because we bought that meadow from Mike Brennan.
    Clump Field:- We have a field called the "Clump field" because in the middle of it (a clump) of white -thorn bushes are growing.
    Páircín Meadhon:- We have a field called "Páircín Meadhon" because it is the middle field on the farm.
    Páircín Clé:- We have a field called "Páircín Clé" because it is to the left side of the Clump field.
