- There are some strange names on the fields in the neighbourhood of my home. The names are as follows. An Cuille. The reason this field is so called because long ago the cows were milked in this field.
Carraic as it is a rocky field.
An Sruit, the reason this field bears that name because there are drains in this field.
Pairc na gCaor. The reason this field is so called because there is a great supply of berries growing in this field.
