  1. Local Place Names

    Share Share Post
    The farmers long ago had a name for every field.
    Mr Byrne of Kilmannon has a field called the "Gravel hole" field so called because there is a gravel quarry in it.
    In the river running through Brideswell and Baldwinstown there is a very deep hole called the "Lord's Hole". This hole got its name from a man called the "Lord Doyle" who lived near it.
