  1. Folklore - In the Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    Long ago in the penal times Catholics used not to be allowed to have Mass except when the priests went in disguise. Mass was often celebrated on Malcomson's rock in the townland of Drumhillagh Killeshandra and it used to be called a Mass rock and it has got that title up to the present day.
