  1. Mass Rocks

    Share Share Post
    There is a field in Clossagh and there is a mass-rock in it. The field belongs to Jack Walsh.
    The place here the chalice was is to be seen yet and where the people knelt. It is said that a priest was buried there. He was killed while he was saying Mass.
    People do not like going into the field. They say that ghosts are to be seen near the rock.
    My father told me this story.
