  1. The Altar Bush

    Share Share Post
    There is a big oak tree with a large round flat stone under it in the townland of Drumbar (about one mile from Donegal town).
    Long ago the priest used to say Mass here and ever since the people call it the “Altar Bush”.
    When a man named Brogan was cutting a hedge near this place many years ago he found a little book there.
    The priest who used to say Mass at this place was supposed to have left it there.
