Foxfield near Manorhamilton?

My great-grandmother's Clarke family came from where they called Foxfield, somewhere near Manorhamilton.  Any ideas where this could be?

Theres a Foxfield Post Office about 2 miles west of Fenagh but that must be 20 odd miles from Manorhamilton.

However if you try Googling "Foxfield Manorhamilton" there are various sites revealed so it is there somewhere!!

A local bus site has this route on it  -

Manorhamilton, Glenboy, Foxfield, Donabeg, Manorhamilton

My  Irish OS map has only the southern half of tManorhamilton  town and surroundings but does have Glenboy and Donagh Beg (variant spelling) but no Foxfield. I'd guess Foxfield is somewhere a mile or so SE of Manorhamilton town centre near Glenboy.

You could try a post on the Leitrim/Roscommon bulletin board asking for confirmation

Don't know if you ever found it ?

I was browsing the area, and found Foxfield Lodge, more or less due east of Manorhamilton, in the townland of Moneenshinnagh, parish of Cloonclare.
