    Local Place Names
    The names of some fields on farms near us :-
    The ash-tree field, the old-walls, the briary field, The Crossabeg (Whelan's Ballyorley), the high - knock field (Mr P Walsh), the cross - stone field (Mr W. Gahan), the marl field (Mr Bolger Garrybritt), the rascal (Mr Webster Garrybritt).
    The cross - stone field is so called that name because there is a cross on one ditch of it.
    The marl - field is called that name because there is a marl hole in it.
