    situated in the midst of rocks. A large stone is in the centre of it, and on the stone is engraved a cross. It is said that on this stone the priest used to say Mass and while he was saying it, people used to watch on the rocks that surround the glen. They were on the lookout for the soldiers. This place is situated over two miles from my house in Knockgorm, Drimoleague.

  2. There are two rocks in Lahana, Drimoleague, where Mass was supposed to be said in Penal times. About two years ago two candlesticks were found there.
