There is a field in Killua called "The Milking Field", where more than twenty cows were milked each morning and evening by the workmen of Killua.
At Johnsbrook, Kells, there is a field called "Croch Bhuighe". Although it means "The Yellow Hill" it is not a hill but a field where nothing used to sown but wheat. That must be why it is called "Croch Bhuidhe".
In Moygrehan, Athboy there is a hill and at the foot of it, there is a little house built of stone. It is called the "Brew House". Long ago people used to brew ale in this little stone house. That is why it is called the "Brew House".
