    There is a Mass Rock in Riverstown about four miles from here. There is a well at the bottom of the rock and it was out of this well the priest used to get the water. The priest blessed the well and got holy water out of it.

    There was a priest in White-Hill and he used to say Mass every day on a rock that was there.
    The priest said Mass there for a long time and after a while the priest-hunters found the priest and killed him.
    The rock is called the "Mass-Rock" The name of the priest that read Mass on that rock was Father McQuillen.
