    The Lisheen -
    This field was once a rath, but, later on it was tilled and so the name has remained on it every since.
    The Brake -
    This name is given to a level field but it was not always so. In olden times it was a furze brake and much furze was cut there as fodder for horses. Later on the furze was burned and the roots pulled. Then it was ploughed.
    Twomey's Field -
    This field got its name from a man named Twomey who sold it to its present owner.
