- Clash an Aifrinn is situated near Sylane. It was used by the Irish during. It was, the Penal Laws to Mass. It is about four miles from Tuam. It is a hollow down in the ground with bushes around it. The people out their put bull wise around it to keep the sheep out from it. There is a gap between two bushes but its full of nettles and weeds now.
There is an altar cut of stone and a cross cut stone in the middle of the hollow. There is a date written on the stone of the time it was erected. There is a priests name there also. It is very hard to read the words now because they are nearly blotted out. There are ruins of old buildings or a monastery one side of it
