  1. Tabair na Franncac
    There is a well in my fathers land called "Tobair na Franncac". It was called this name because every time it is cleaned there are water-rats found in the bottom of it, they are found alive. This well is very deep.
    Caisláin Fearr
    There is another place in the land called "Caisláin Fearr". I do not know why it was called this name, but it is a very small field and a wood all round it, and there is a big heap of stones in the middle of the little field.
