Penal Days.
In the Penal days the only place I ever heard about a priest being killed or a Mass Rock in our district was where the recent memorial was erected in Bragan.
My father told about a place in Fermanagh.The townland of Lettergreen,beside Newtownbutler,where a priest was murdered in the penal times.The story goes that he was hunted to a particular shrubbery by the yoemen and put to death.The shubbery and the laneway along side it is known to the present day as the Butcher's Lane and Shrubbery.
