Penal Times
In the Penal times long ago the people used to be persecuted if they pleaded guilty for murdering.
There is a field that now belongs to a man named Martin where the Priests used to say Mass, there is a stone in which the Priest used to say Mass on. There used to have Altars in the open air. When Mass used to be said protestants used to come and kill them and knock down the Altars.
There is a fort in the field in which there is a cave. The old people say that the Priest used to go in and say Mass in it.
