  1. There is a field at the back of our house called the "Big Field". It got this name because it is a large sized field. On the land of Michael Hanly there is a field known as Roche's Garden because many years ago a man named Roche lived there and when he died this field was called "Roche's Garden". Darby Meehan has also two fields called "Jacks Field" and Tim's Field because hundreds of years ago two men lived on these fields. Tim Lenehan was one of their names but the other man's name is not known for certain.
