  1. In Ballylin there is a field called Finlay's Field, because a man named Finlay owned it.
    There is another field called the buck - park because there were deer in it at one time.
    Near it there is a field called Lochán Dubh. There is a hallow in it and when it rains it is full of water. There is only one acre in it.
