  1. There are numerous "Mass Paths" in the district but all of them with one exception leading to the present Church of Rathanna.
    One of these is from Cranagh to Rathanna. A point in connection with this path is that during the Black-and-Tan war, a Mr James Hayden of Cranagh was shot dead on it whilst on his way home from Mass.
    Another path leads from Mr Heffernans land in Rosdillig through fields belonging to Mar Lawlor and Mr Rigney to Rathanna Church.
    Yet another leads from Coonogue wood and the Bog of Knockroe to the Church.
