    Local Place Names
    Written by Josephine Lynch Cullintra Drung Cavan
    Collected from Philip Lynch Ca?llintra Drung Cavan
    The names of the fields are the foal's field, the three cornered field, the sand pit field.
    The names of the hills are the Bog hill the flax hill McQuillan's hill and the whinny hill
    The meadows are the mill-dam meadow and the wild meadow
    McQuillan's hill gets its name from its former owner. The whinny hill gets its name from its appearance. The bog hill gets its name from its position. The wild meadows and the cornered field get their names from their appearance.
