The Lug-mór is a large field with a height in the middle of it. the srath is a little garden. The names of some bridges in this part of the country are Griffiths bridge and Sheels's bridge.

Griffith lived near the bridge and he was always telling lies. The people around buried him under the bridge. So it is still called Griffiths bridge.
