  2. In the Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    About six months ago my grandfather was quarrying stones in a place called McGonigle’s Rocks. HE happened to dig up human bones. Beside this there is a little alter made of stone flags.
    It seems that in penal times mass was celebrated there, and the priest who said mass at that palce was killed by some cruel soldiers.
