  1. Place-Names
    The names of the fields in Willie Ryan's farm are "Páirc an Uisge", "Páirc Bairrce", "Páirc na clocha", "Middle field", "the Inch", "Gáirdin Nua"' "the orchard", "Killfield", "Ard na Reachta rí", "Páircín coille", "Cnicin Nua", "Cnicin". There is no stream or a rock in the farm. "Páirc an Uisge" got its name because water flows through it. "Páirc a Bairrce" got its name because there is a Barrack built near it. "Páirc na clocha" got its name because there was a rock in it. "Middle field" got its name because it is between two other fields
