There is a big stone on the Rathmullen shore with the design of a Celtic cross on it and some people are inclined to think that it was used at some time for a mass rock.There was an old abbey in this town but is now in ruins. It was dedicated to Our Lady of Carmel; so it was named the Carmelite Abbey. At one time there was an underground passage from the Abbey to where the Post Office now stands.
