    There is a stone in a glen near our house and it is called the "holy water stone". The stone is hidden in briars. There is one path into it. People visit it and leave something there. Mass was said there during the Penal Days. There is a hole in the middle and it served as a tabernacle. There is a hole in its side and a cross was put into it. There is a story about it.
    Long ago when mass was being offered there were six people watching the British soldiers. There are six big stones and each person had one stone.
