   Smoothing Iron

   Field near my house at Hilltown. So called because it is shaped like a smoothing iron.

   
   The Glebe

   A field adjoining ours at Hilltown

   
   Brickhill

   So called because clay for making bricks used to be got there

   
   Black Road

   Running from Whitehall chapel to Bigwood and through Kiltoom. So called because of overhanging trees

   
   The Bog Field

   So called because it is of a peaty nature. Fields in different localities are often called thus.

   
   The Kennels

   Adjoining the Benison Lodge road. Formerly the Westmeath Foxhounds were housed here. Ruins of old walls are all that remain.

   
   Stony Field

   Beside my house. So called because although we are constantly picking the stones there seem to be as many left.

   
   Whitehall

   Origin unknown. Old people say it got its name from a gentleman's residence which stood near where Whitehall Chapel now stands.
