  1. Local Place Names

    Share Share Post
    I know of a field that is named "Jack's Field". The reason it was called that name is there lived a man in that field, and his name was Jack Donohoe.
    I also heard of another field that is named "The Hanging Hill". The reason it was called that was it is hanging over a bog.
    I never heard of any names of hollows or streams.
    I heard of a little garden that is named "Seanna Hill". The reason it was called that was because it is a kind of rocky land. There was a well in it also, of the same name as Seanna Hill.
