- This is the Parish of Castlerahan which is also the Barony of Castlerahan. In the Munterconnaught district of the Parish is a townland called Knocknagarton. In the centre of this townland there is a hill overlooking Lough Ramor, and at the foot of the hill a large rock. In the eighteenth century when the Penal laws were in force and a price was put on a priest's head Mass was celebrated many times at this rock. It is in a quiet place. Near it is St. Patrick's well. There is a large ash tree in the shape of a cross beside the well. At the foot of the Mass Rock there is the entrance to a cave the exit of which is in a moat in Mr McEnroe's field.
