Thank you. On the question - Kill is the anglicised form of Cill meaning cell, itself a derivate of the Latin for chapel. An example is Cill Chainnigh (Kilkenny) meaning the cell or church of Canice. You might be interested in a similar video 'The Whispering Fields' featuring an area of North Kilkenny and can be found here ruclips.net/video/aF3lRxT2arM/видео.html
Glad you enjoyed it. I think such programmes are vital to preserve such history before it is forgotten. Credit is due to the Heritage Office of Kilkenny County Council for recognising this and instigating this series.
These videos are produced as part of a programme run by the Heritage Section of the council to capture the folklore on an area before it is lost. I hope they do a few more soon.
Wonderful how all the thousands of fields have their own names! Seems our great grandmother Margaret Murphy and her father Barnaby Murphy from Clonamery-Ballygub. Hope to delve more into this on a next visit.
