- I heard of a good many names of place. The barn field because there was an old barn there at one time and the bull field because there was an old bull there for a long time. There is a forth field and whiny field because there was an old forth there at one time. This is why it is called a whiny field because whins grew grew there long ago. The high field because long ago there was a quarry there. The Dane's field because the Danes were there. The Sián field because there was fairies there long ago. I heard of a field not far from my home, this is why it got its name because the Danes were there at one time and built houses there and lived there for a long time.
