  1. Historic - A Local Mass Rock

    Share Share Post
    In the Penal Days, Mass was said at the Rock in Rathcash, Clara in a field in Mr. Byrne's Farm. People from this side of the Parish attended Mass by stealth and the priest hid in the houses of the neighbours.
    The Rock is still to be seen.
