   Mr. Leigh of Rosegarland a very extensive landlord owner, who has almost one thousand acres of land has names on most of his fields.
   Currey's Hill, The rabbit-hill, Power's Hill,
   The Pound, because it was used to put cattle in the night before he brought them to the fair.
   Forty-acre field so called because of its size.
   A large field he owned was known as "Poldoon" and that is also the real name of the land in and around the village of Foulksmills.
   This field was divided up by the Land Commission in 1927 and local farmers now own it.
   A local rhyme composed that time began :-
   "Twas in nineteen and twentyseven,
   That the farmers were in heaven,
   (For) the Commissioners came around
   And they got a bit of ground.
   (Refrain)
   "Says the poor "ould" man,

   There were ten or eleven verses in all and they referred to each of the local farmers, almost twenty in number, who got land for themselves. Flax was grown in this place for about four years + a "scutch"-mill was erected about 1927.
