Can anybody help please. This is not a crossword but a fireside quiz Answers are names of towns and villages in Northern Ireland. Googled a list of these but still can't get last two. Must be misunderstanding the clues.

Irish astronomers pastures

Could it be SPRINGFIELD (for pastures)?

Hi Sammy
Can't get the connection with Irish astronomers. Not very good at these quizzes

I am wondering if the Irish astronomer one is Galway Bay I am thinking of the song about watching the sun go down on Galway Bay. If you look up the lyrics to Galway Bay it makes sense

But Galway Bay isnt in Northern Ireland, though.

Hamilton's Bawn / Hamiltonsbawn

William Rowan HAMILTON'S (Irish astronomer's) + BAWN (meadow / pasture)

Thanks a lot Big Dave. Never heard of the astronomer Hamilton so had no chance of getting answer. Now only one remaining

Dundrod?

Thanks Gamesadventures. Dundrod sounds good but could you explain to me how you arived at that. I don't get it. This is the most difficult clue I have ever come across. Any geniuses out there!!!

You could try Googling "list of places Northern Ireland" which will take you to the Wikepedia site. It has a huge list of place names ranging from villages to cities. Something might leap out of the page at you. Had hoped to find something beginning with Dun.. like Dunlivin but no luck - will look again later when I've done the dishes !
