  1. Local Place Names

    Share Share Post
    The fields belonging to Mrs. Breen, the Dirr, Cleariestown, have all names.
    1. One is called the "Whiskey" field, because a local man who was fond of whiskey came there to drink it.
    2. There is another field on the same farm called the "Well" fields because the well was in it.
    3. Another field is called the "Horse" field because a horse was buried in it.
