- There is an almost extinct ruin of an old chapel which was there in Penal times. An old priest came to the chapel to celebrate mass for his little flock. A messenger arrived with word that the soldiers were coming to arrest the priest. He refused to leave and he emplored his flock to go away but refused to leave their pastor. When the soldiers arrived the people made a great fight to protect the priest and at last suceeded in doing so.
