  1. In the penal days our priests were not allowed to say Mass in our Churches as they were hunted by protestants. There is a quarry of rocks in Ballymacarthur. In this quarry the priests often said Mass. And since that time it is known as the Altar Rocks.

  2. There is a well in Ballinghan known as the Tonbrage Well. There is a cross on the top of the well. The well is shaped like a house. And the priests often said Mass at this well. Any anyone who uses the water that is in the well will get a cure.
