- (continued from previous page)used in the old chapel of Cahernicole.
Beside the old chapel is a rock called the mass rock because the mass was offered there before the erection of the chapel. Near it also is a cave in which the priests used to hide during the day as soon as they had mass said for fear of being put to death by the soldiers. It is one hundred and thirty years ago since the church was used.
The priests had very hard times during the penal laws and they often thought they would be put to death before they had mass read but than God these times are gone now.
