    A Mass Rock
    In the middle of a field belonging
    to Michael Duggan, Ballydrehid, there
    is to be seen a large rock called
    a Mass Rock.
    This rock is in the field above
    thee house and near a hawthorn
    bush.
    It is a single rock, and is at
    present about five feet long, two
    feet wide and a foot high.
    When they were reclaiming this
    field they dug around the rock trying
    to lift it out of the ground, but
    failed in the attempt.
