- In the penal days priests cold not say mass in the churches but had to say it in the open air on ricks on the hills and in cases and a lot of places around here had got their names from that.
There is a rock in Gort-na-Trow called Lag-na-h-Alcops where a priest said mass in the penal days.
There was a priest lives in Ballyhernan in the penal days and the soldiers wanted to kill him. A man from Ramelton came down riding on a white horse and killed him the priest (sic).
The the Ballhernan followed Campbell and the killed him and threw him in a peat bank in Mooring and that place was called "Poll an Cambealaug" from that out.
