    late at night.
    In a neighbouring field there there is a huge rock which is called a Mass Rock. It is believed that during the time of the Penal laws Mass was said there, when at that time Priests were not allowed to have Mass in the churches. The stone is very wide and covers a good space on the field. It is to be seen in a field owned by Mr. Butler of Ballyhenebry.
