    Share Share Post
    There is a Mass Stone at the entrance of Drumsnath Catholic Cemetery Threemilehouse Parish, where mass was said in the Penal Days. There is an iron gate and two piers surrounding it. There is a big flat stone in the ground and every coffin that passes through is rested on this stone for a few minutes and lifted again. This is supposed to be where the funeral Mass was said in the Penal Days.
