    long-ago. Secret houses were built during this time in which to say Mass. One house was built about two fields from my home. No trace of the ruins are now seen. Priests had leave to say mass in other houses also. They were given leave by the owner secretly. These were given to priests to say mass in.
    During the most treacherous time of the Penal laws Drumcannon Chapel was knocked to the ground. Many say it was Queen Elizabeth's army who pulled it down.
