    In Penal times the priests used to say Mass beside rocks, and under trees.
    Mass Rocks
    Mass was said at a rock beside St. Martin's well in Luke Killian's field Fermoyle. St Martin's footprint is on the rock still.
    Mass used to be said beside Lady well Newtowncashel. People go to that well and do stations round it.
    Mass trees
    Mass was said under a tree in Tim Kenny's field in Aughaloughin. That tree is green all the year round.
