    The Cow Field
    Owned by Mr. Daniel Tully, Tuiterath, Balrath. It is about four acres in area.
    There was once a wicked cow in this field and nobody was able to enter it until the cow was destroyed. It has been called the “Cow” “Field” since

    The Plank Field
    Also owned by Mr. Daniel Tully of Tuiterath, Balrath. It consists of about five acres.
    So called because long ago when men were going to work in a nearby brickyard they had to cross a deep ditch by means of a plank.
