- We have a field and it is called the Pound, because a man was going through it one night about fifty years ago and he saw it full of cattle with no heads. He told it to another man. The other man said that it was the fairies pound and that name stopped on it ever since.
We have another field. It is called the Black Garden. When they were tilling the land there were three other fields near it and the soil was red. The other field was a dark colour and it was called the Black Garden.
Another field is called the Clover Field because there was clover growing in it some time ago.
