  1. Mass Rock

    Share Share Post
    In the Penal times, when priests were not allowed to say Mass, they used to go out on the mountains to say it. On the hill over Kylotlea near Mullinahone, a big rock is still to be seen where Mass was said in the olden times. Near it stands a big cross, made out of a tree which grew there, and Mass is celebrated at that cross and rock every ten years.
