It got this name because it is near a forge. The "Pound field" got this name because it is walled in all around like a pound for holding cattle. The "Horse field" because horses used be kept there long ago "Páircín Learaí" it got its name from an old man who lived there long ago. There is only one stream in the locality and two ponds.
