    Share Share Post
    Ireland is dotted over with ruins and there are a great many of them in this district:-
    There is Mass Rock in Ballinastocken and another on Granamore Mountain where the Priests said Mass in '98.
    There is a Holy Well in Ballyknocken and a little stone cross beside it.
    The "Sweat-house" in Annacarney was built in the time of the Danes, people were cured there of Rheumatic fever.
