  1. (continued from previous page)
    1. Long ago when war was in Ireland the priests used to hear Mass on the mountains.
    There is a house in this district where St Attractia used to pray, and the tracks of her knees are left, (by) and medals are left by those who visit it. It is two miles form the school in the land of Owen Shannon in Towninaden.
    The house is still visited and prayer's said. Every one has to put some stones on the house when they visit it.
