    is built is tilled the rock is not touched.
    It was erected in the Penal days when the priests were hunted. It is said that while the priest was celebrating Mass that a man would be up on the hill close by watching for fear that the army would come and kill the priest.
    I heard that my great - grandfather attended Mass there when he was young.
    There are old roads leading to it from north, south, east and west where the people used to come to attend Mass.
