- There is a Mass rock between the Mine and Urhan where the people cut the turf Long ago when the Penal Laws were in force the Priests used say Mass there.
Some time ago a man named Michael Sheehan was cutting turf there and he found a piece of a blessed candle about an inch long in the heath and he gave it to Fr Casey.
Other people say that it is not since the Penal Laws it was there, that it would be melted away. They say when people used be coming from Mines Long ago that they used rest in that Chonacán and maybe it was they that lost it.
