    (a) The little Mans Well situated between the townlands of Gortermone and Druminbawn is called so, - after its owner James Farelly who was a small stout man.
    (B) Bravine's Parish is a square piece of land surrounded by water. It serves as a mearning between, Gurleen, Druminbawn, and Gotermone and is called thus because a man named Ines built a house there. He was very brave.
    (c) The "Scroc" is called because it is a wed marshy field.
    (D) The Black Meadow is named so as a man was killed there by lightning
