    there is an old boggy place and it is called "Logán Bán" because in Summer a lot of white flowers bloom there.
    There is another field called "Tobar Mín". It got its name because there is a little well at the bottom of this field.
    Not far from where I live there is a little path called "An Bóthar Beag" and there is another path called "An Bóthar Cú" it means the road of the hounds.
