- Old Phil Boner of Ballymacarthur told me this story
In a field belonging to John Burns there is a Rock called the Mass Rock. It is said that this rock got is name because of Mass being offered at it during the penal times when a priest's life was in danger as there was a reward for his head. So a priest and a few people would assemble and on this rock a priest offered Mass and that is how it got its name

- This was told to me by grandfather who is 85 years of age. Lower Ballybrack is called the standing stone because Fionn Mac Cumhal through a stone across the water from Magiilligan. It was a magic stone and it is still standing from the day it was thrown to this day. Fionn threw it over a good many years ago.
