    Some of the fields near my home are: 'fair green,' the 'railway field,' the 'road field,' and the 'cottage meadow.'
    The 'fair green' is so called because the fairs are held in it. The 'road field' is along the Enniskillen road. The 'cottage meadow' is a very large meadow beside "Belcoo Cottage."
    The 'railway field' is along the S.L. and N. C. Railway.
    The townland of Holywell is near my home too. There is a holy well there, from which four streams run. No one can see where the well rises, but it gave the name to the townland round it.
