- Among the rocks in Clogher Head in the penal times, one day a priest was saying mass. A few soldiers were passing through rocks, they heard him saying mass. So they went over to him, held their guns up to his face, just on the moment they killed him, and you can see the trace of the blood on the same place. There was another priest killed hiding on the soldiers at Beauliew bridge.
