- The name of our fields are, the field in front of the door, the upper field, the far field, the bog field, the far bog field, the Cairrigeas and the meadow.
There was a lone bush in the Cairrigeas. A man named Owen Hughas cut the bush and he went to England and one night he dreamt that he saw the bush in a pool of blood. The next day his leg was cut off with a train. He is living yet.My grand-father, when he was a young boy, used to hear the football match being played in the Cairrigeas on quiet Summer nights. Although he used to go over to see, he never saw anything. Even after going to bed he could still hear the sound of the ball.
