  1. Local Place Names

    Reimeen bush got its name from an old Whitethorn bush that grew on The side of the road and what was called a monument bush in old times.
    The Knuck-awn or Cruck-awn as they are called are several little hills at the other side of the road from Reimeen bush. The field next the hills is called Gurtkna-cruck-awn and the reason why it got that name is because it got it from the hills.
