    Folklore.
    The name of a certain field in our farm is named Gorry Bán.
    It consists of a very big hill with heath ,ferns and rushes growing in it.
    It got the name Gorry Bán because there lived a man long ago in it named Michael Bán the ruins of his house are still there and it is called after the name Bán
