- (continued from previous page)some fields to which some particular name is attached and some of them are as follows. The "Field of the graves". This field is so called because during the famine there was people buried there. Another one is called the "Hollow Bank" because this particular place is under the rest of the land. Another place is called the "Rye garden" because long ago Rye was always grown therein. Another field is called the monument field because there is a monument in it and from the top of it Sligo town can be seen. Another field is called "Sweeneys field" because a man named Sweeney was buried there. Another field is called the "Pound field" because about a hundred years ago any cattle, sheep or horses seized for shop debt or unpaid rates were impounded in that field and put up for auction by the high Sheriff of the County and sold so as to recover the debt and all expenses. Another field is called the "Football field" because people play games of football in it.
