It is not near the main road, but it adjoins the old road which lead from Drumderry to Clonegal in olden times, and it also adjoins Drumderry wood. There is a hollow or hole in this field. It is believed that in olden times people by the name of Martin dug for gold in it. It is called this name about 150 years.
