   Local Place-Names

   The names of some fields on our farm are :-
   The Common's field, ten-acre field, the pocket-field, Byrne's bog, the sand-pit field, the big moor, the little moor, and the car-house field.
   The Common's field is so called because it was one time an old commons.
   The ten-acre is so called because there are ten-acres in it.
   The pocket-field is so called because there was a ditch pailing off one corner of it in the shape of a pocket.
