The priest used a stone, and then he was surrounded by the people. Some people think that Mass was said in a hollow. in Stewarts Hill. A stone is to be seen where the priest celebrated Mass and above it the people knelt.

   In a place near Letterkenny, known as Sentry Hill mass was said during penal times. This place took its name from the fact that a sentry was placed there as a protection for the priest while saying mass. The mass rock is still to be seen. A quarry has been worked round it in later years which has made it more visible.
