  2. Local Place Names

    I am going to give you an account of some names of fields which are in my district.
    There is one called the "Race" field and the "Long" field and "gleann na greasaide" and also the "Cow Paddock".
    The name "gleann na greasaide" was put on it on account of a shoemaker who used to live there and to whom the field belonged. I can't find out his name.
    The name "Cow Paddock"
