- Carrickanettin (Carraig an Aitinn). Situated in the townland of Feeba Ban Parish of Tydavnet, Co Monaghan the property of Mrs Kate McKenna. The hill only named Carrickanettin by old people is about 2 acres in extent & covered with furze bushes & heather. On the west side of it is situated a green slope called “the garden.” The garden is surrounded by whitethorn bushes. At the top of it is a fairly large stone which according to local tradition was an altar during the penal days. Old people point out the local spot where the priest “said” Mass, & tell how crowds gathered there to hear Mass during the penal days. It is very likely that such was the case as it is an ideal spot for concealment.
