- During the Penal Times when the Priests were not allowed to practise their religion they had to say Mass behind hedges and in houses.
About a quarter of a mile from our home on the "Ballymaglasson Road there is a Mass Bush and it is said that that the Priest said Mass during the Penal Days.
Quite recently when roadmen were widening the road they uprooted what was thought to be a human skull and on the advise of my father reburied it in the same place.
